Zorin_75 Hmm. In which way does maintaining nose-up inputs until pitch attitude ends up at 16° reflect "Reduce pitch attitude to (...) 5° at or above FL200"?
It does not at all, and we should ask the question how come?
Maybe that is the reason?
The aural stall warning may also sound at high altitude, where it warns that the aircraft is approaching the angle of attack for the onset of buffet. To recover, relax the back pressure on the sidestick and if necessary reduce bank angle. Once the stall warning stops, back pressure may be increased again, if necessary, to get back on the planned trajectory.
Together with
- lack of training in manual flying,
- lack of training in flying in this altitude ,
- lack of training in manual flying in this altitude in alternate law
continue with
- at night
- in WX /maybe turbulence
- without airspeed indication
- sudden stress
and you might find lots of reasons, why this recovery attempt with a meanwhile outdated procedure failed.
