SV Interesting thought exercise - what would have happened if pilot didn't recover Normal control?

HN Interesting indeed. ..... At best, the airplane ends up in 1g flight at a speed corresponding to alpha-prot, descending or climbing depending on the thrust available (set).
the report sugest it can also oscillate, and I hope that the amplitude will not reach to extrem values..... better rather degrease.... in case of the A 340 with that trust (set) it first climbed... the next question is, will it climb to the moon or at what level will it stop climbing? and will it be than inside the coffin values.....

but I think, first we have to draw a raw AoA line with: AoA = pitch-FPA and look how good the Mr.alpha-protector did his work
