The French version of the Interim Report No 3 shows the complete and utter confusion on the flight deck with the crew receiving continious and multiple warnings and the PF completely unaware that his inputs have put the aeroplane into a dangerous climb.

During the descent, with the aeroplane stalled, the crew are again confused. The PF is told he is climbing by the PNF and he responds by lowering the nose only to then receive the stall warning!

I now understand why they failed to action the ECAM; because the failures were changing rapidly before their eyes.

I can only suspect that the PF was hopelessly distracted from his primary task which of course was to fly the aeroplane!

A sobering lesson to us all - fly the aeroplane, using attitude and power only if necessary.
