what was the THS' deflection at a/p drop? BEA don't say. A/P will hang in until 13 degrees Pitch UP before it quits.
According to BEA, the THS
passed from 3 to 13 degrees nose-up in about 1 minute at 2:10:51, 46 seconds after a/p disconnect. Even applying the least plausible interpretation to the report, that it was already arriving at 13 deg at 2:10:51, THS would just have started moving when the a/p disengaged.
When there are such large holes in what we know at this point, I don't really understand why it is necessary to make up stuff that even contradicts the few facts we do have?
