In Normal I believe the postulated theory is the aircraft, due to block pitots, believed it was in an overspeed condition and applied a pitch-up command, resulting in the climb and ultimately 13 degrees NU on the THS.
- ok - so how is this countered? Does the system 'know better' and ignore any 'human' pitch down elevator commands by increasing THS angle? I still cannot readily accept that 2 pilots would sit, apparently silently, while their a/c launches into orbit What was said?
