Hi PJ2,
Your reply to 3holelover was a very comprehensive and well written one. Both from a pilot-response point of view (which is common practice: power + pitch), and multiple systems and redundancies available for attitude indication in a large airliner (which was enlightening to me as well).
Your post very cleanly and succinctly draws the reader to the burning questions that are confusing most people with flying experience (myself included):
- Why the initial NU input; and
- Why the maintained NU input.
You were very diplomatic in not offering answers to those questions, and I don't think any of us can do until the final report is released.
Thank you sir!
