hi Lonewolf.
Give me a steer, here. My take on the accident involves mostly the idea that the initial event happened rather quickly, and was unrecoverable almost as fast.
Aren't 'Upset' and "Loss of Control" two separate regimes? My understanding is that Upset need define one set of criteria, and LOC another.
Upset I think, includes control excursions that are quite recoverable, similar and quite consistent with loss of a/p. Not boring, but not life threatening either. A Loss of Control exists when command of the a/c is lost?
So, for whatever reason, what caused 3ADR reject and ALTERNATE LAW2 satisfies 'Upset'? The zoom climb, at least for now, defines LOC?
Early in #4 thread, I think, the criteria for Jet upset (regardless of airframe type) were posted here. Not so for LOC, but LOC is pretty simply "Loss of Command" (mechanical or Pilot induced?)
