Again there's no evidence for what you're asserting. Unless something went spectacularly wrong the only way the THS went up 13 degrees was because the PF put it there. Did something go spectacularly wrong with the systems or did the PF actually deliberately pull on the stick to get it into that position? Did he know that he could wind the trim forward with the wheel to remedy the situation? We don't know -which is why I want to wait until we know what happened before we start talking about changing features of the systems and aircraft design.
