The PF's inputs towards full nose-up begin at 2:11:40 and he's back against the stops at 2:11:42. The nose-down pitch doesn't begin until 2:11:45 and reaches 10 degrees nose-down (the lowest point it will ever reach) at approx 2:11:55. I might be being daft, but I see no correlation.

On top of that, if I pulled hard back and the aircraft's response was to pitch down in short order, recall of my Air Cadet days would suggest I might be stalled.

Am I missing something?
