I await the news of BEA next report as everyone does.
Perhaps it will clear up this confusion. When autopilot dropped out, the PF made immediate inputs, and heard the STALL Warning, two times.
What could the autoflight have done to get this aircraft to so obviously be nibbling at aerodynamic STALL? If dropping a/s reads, would the ap have increased power to such an extent that both engines were blazing away, and altitude still was dropping?
By definition, this is UPSET. At some point later, the onset of zoom climb qualifies technically as Loss of Control (LOC).
We hear the PF "I have the controls". So after the uncontrolled zoom climb starts, we will certainly hear PNF on the radio reporting "Out of...."
Will there be a MayDay in there as well? I believe we will hear at least one.
takata, you are wishful thinking. I know the feeling, and you have it.
