Hi,
Hi jcjeant,
"After the autopilot disengagement:
„„the airplane climbed to 38,000 ft,
„„the stall warning was triggered and the airplane stalled,
„„the inputs made by the PF were mainly nose-up,
„„the descent lasted 3 min 30, during which the airplane remained stalled. The angle of
attack increased and remained above 35 degrees,
„„the engines were operating and always responded to crew commands."
They lowered the nose at some stage but then received the stall warning again. The report doesn't say that they continued to inject nose down inputs after that event. All it says is that they were mostly nose-up.
Do you think they were still pushing down hard at impact? The last recorded values were a pitch attitude of 16.2 degrees nose-up, a roll angle of
5.3 degrees left and a vertical speed of -10,912 ft/min.
Very nice !
But .. as you I read the BEA note .. and in this note it's :
The THS remained full up deflection to the end of the event
So you don't answer the question...
Why (or how) THS will stay
(nothing move even 1°!!) full up to the end of the event ... when we know that
nose down inputs were performed ... 
How you explain this this
contradiction (for me) in the BEA note ?
