Dumb non-pilot SLF question here, and I apologise for posting in the Tech forum - but this has been nagging at me.
The a/c described almost a complete circle, anti-clockwise, before it hit the sea. Is this typical of what happens in a stall, or does it suggest the plane was wing-down all the way?
The Captain sounded concerned about getting the wings level before anything else, and the whole mess kicked off with the PF trying to correct a roll to the right. Is there something in this that might have confused / distracted them? Would a persistent tilt to the right, or a roll from one side to the other, have confused the sensation of being light in the seat, or made it harder to distinguish dive from stall?
Apologies again. Please ignore if stupid.
