takata - post #235 - you accuse Bear of posting "such a load of cr*ap about a subject" and then do it yourself. I repeat - there is NOTHING in the BEA report to tell you that the pilots caused the climb. A 'nose up' input of unspecified size or duration does NOT prove that and may well have been of short duration - you do not know. As for your bit about "There is another way to change pitch attitude than pulling up on the sidestick as simply applying thrust could do the job if the amount is large enough." - you don't say? Now show me where the report tells you they increased thrust. You are making this up!
Now to TC-JDN - have another look at the trace. The a/c began pitching while the engines were throttled back, the side stick did not move but the THS did.
I note you come 'from Toulouse'.
