Would an entry into a robust updraft cause the reduction in IAS? Would it cause the a/p to lower the nose to hold altitude? Was the a/p handling Roll excursions that were rapid enough to challenge its remaining performance?
Loss of THS response with repeated ND inputs is apparent on the traces. It remains full UP. the elevators show PF commanding ND.
Is anyone interested in looking closely at the 30 seconds prior/post a/p loss?
airtren: Would those lateral excursions of the ss possibily be related to the Human body's reaction to changes in posture due ROLL? Might they have been reactions to, rather than attempts to control, ROLL? PF: Loose restraints?
CONFiture: Are you aware of "missing traces" on other investigations by BEA re: Airbus? Because, at some point, after repetition, malicious becomes insulting.......
