As caveated by our contributor, the scenario might not have been similar enough to have triggered a "this is one of those situations" responses from the crew.

What I was trying to get at (damping and pitch rate limiting functions considered) is that I think the pitch rates would be a little faster (you'd have to wait less time) if you moved the THS with the wheels (even when auto trim is functioning, which it should in Alt 2) rather than wait for the elevator THS linkage to induce THS nose down (THS actually up a bit) commands.

But if one doesn't train it, one probably doesn't resort to such actionns when things get hairy in the cockpit.
