NARVAL. If the THS is trimmed to .1 g less than elevators command 1g at cruise in a/p, will it chase .9g if the a/c neglects to cancel that order after the loss of auto pilot? Is that perhaps why it stopped at less than full UP at the STALL? It hadn't zeroed at the start of its uninterrupted migration to 13.9 degrees NU? Without that cue at the start of UP toward the STALL, was it flying anything other than g? Not following the manual input?
AZR. fwiw, "je ne comprends riens..." was part of a leak, early on. It was not claimed by BEA, but BEA did in general rue the release of unapproved data in a memo. No source could be identified for it, but it was discussed here. So technically it is not "new", only re-released, and still not disavowed by BEA......
If it is accurate, it is a bold condemnation of the aircraft and its pilots.
Yes, and the aircraft. For those who disagree, I can only point out the public side of the behaviour and docs exhibited by the BEA. Review them, and take note how the interface among the principals has been a design/build from the outset, and it is yet to reach QA. It is not a report so much as it will be a creation.
One guess as to the goals of the "ARTISTES"
