Is it possible to deduce from your great graphs at what point the zoom climb becomes 'ballistic'? Strikes me that a some point before the apogee airspeed and pitch wouldn't be be able to generate enough lift for level flight - and the only way out would have been a carefully managed pitch down and controlled descent past the apogee. Was FL375 @ M0.68 sustainable? Guess need to make assumptions about engine thrust and response time if not already full.. At what point on your graphs was/should the stall warning be triggered?

It was never clear to me exactly how the A340 airprox zoom climb was successfully recovered - pilot or AoA protection avoiding the stall warning using full thrust and pitch down?
