+1

1) how on earth can a "system" allow the THS to go to full 13° up in cruise at 35.000' ?
Because 1 hand on 1 stick, connected to 3 xdcers commanded the 3 FCPC - in ALt 2 - to do so.
(In the absence of ss xdcr, FCPC or pitch system faults, it wasn't a 'flaw' order generated by the system itself.)

2) how on earth can a stall warning be disabaled below 60 Kts to just kick in again when control is being regained (and completely confuse the poor crew) ?
Maybe because flying at 60 kts, 15° pitch and 40° alpha was not accounted for?
Ask B. they quit all the signals at 30Kts, so between 30 and 60 flight seems to be possible with that one!?
