The following graphic is a compilation of work done by HazelNuts39 and updated to include modifications suggested by A33Zab. It covers a period of 2 minutes from just prior to AP/ATHR disconnect to about one minute after the aircraft actually stalled.



The time the stall actually occurred is shown as 2:10:59 and observation will show that the aircraft gained a small amount of height by ballistic momentum over the next 6 seconds.

I'm sure that HN39 will assist with explanations should they arise.

The graphic above is 785 x 500 pixels so as not to stretch the page when being viewed on displays of 1024 pixels horizontal resolution. Clicking on the graphic will link to a full size image (1100 x 700) displayed in a separate window.
