OK.....here I am.....again. Why can't we all just admit that if this had been a "conventional" airplane [cable-operated, not computer/electric-operated] that we would not even have a thread on this? #378
Not Necessarily

Narrows, Virginia; ABX Air (Airborne Express) DC-8; December 22, 1996

"probable causes of this accident were the inappropriate control inputs applied by the flying pilot during a stall recovery attempt, [and] the failure of the nonflying pilot-in-command to recognize, address, and correct these inappropriate control inputs . (Summary)"

"... the airplane remained in an aerodynamic stall condition because the PF held significant back pressure on the control column all the way to impact.(2.2.1)"
