NO. The a/c did not respond immediately to PF's back stick, read the report. The a/c did not start upward until the PITCH UP reached ten degrees, read the report. Hence my comment that the THS seemed unavailable from a/p drop, until just prior to the STALL. It also counters the myth that he pulled the a/c up immediately, HE DID NOT. The report shows a pilot with measured pull, and interrupted, waiting for response.
The a/c was raising her nose as an artifact of the last gasp of the a/p. She did not climb, not initially. And we don't know if she had NU at that point or no.
We also rely on the pilot's words themselves; he susses overspeed, and likely did until just before impact, when all three wanted to pull. Was that a mistake? Yes, but it was not "Blindly pulling into a STALL". The recorders make fools of us all, unless they get overwritten, after a safe landing.
You are putting motives and methods into this that do not exist. They had been dealt a hand that we have analysed without restraint. They had several cues that lied, that caused on their own the circumstyances that led to the crash.
Their is NO determination of Iced Pitots. It is a guess, for all we know it may have been wind shear that bolluxed up ADRS. And that is a reason for TOGA and high Pitch, in its own right.
I appreciate your response.
