AF447 final crew conversation - Thread No. 1

[BarbiesBoyfriend]

You know guys, if you get that THS out of position, you are going to have one hell of a job to do.

If the AP (or someone else) trims it nose up (or down) and then hands you it. What are you going to do?

I remember an incident where an inexperienced pilot got a ERJ-145 out of trim THS wise. Luckily it was nose UP. Come to think of it, 447 was nose up too. Glad the Barbie-jet pilots got out of it.

Anyways. My main point is this:

That tail needs to be pointing where you're going.

If it isn't- you're in a world of **** until it is.
