While we make our final comments before the interim report Friday the 5 degrees nose up and climb power will only work prestall. Once stalled and had a 61 degree angle of attack in the descent at 10,000 fpm descent rate they need at least 30 degrees nose down pitch to recover. The 5 degrees pitch up and climb power wasn't applied when it should before the stall and they went way above that causing a full stall. Hopefully they will tell us Friday how they did this.
