Those who think yokes should be the cure-all for what the other guy is doing should look at this accident originally posted by Netstruggler in the current Rumors & News AF447 thread.
http://libraryonline.erau.edu/online...s/AAR97-05.pdf An interesting mix of Perpignan and AF447 on a DC-8 airframe. No loss of airspeed, but a stall warning failure combined with a PF who didn't let the nose down promptly at the stall and two staff pilots + a FE on a Post Maintenance Check Flight.
The guy in charge (PNF) didn't apparently realize that they were still stalled and allowed the PF to continue to hold the Yoke too far back to recover.
When the wings started rocking-it was like they had both forgotten all they should know.
Oh yes, PF had trimmed too far nose up. Do you see a possible pattern?
