I doing ok Clandestino, thanks, Old Carthusian may now realize that instruments don’t necessarily tell what the flight control inputs are …

Now for you Clandestino :
You are the Captain on AF447, as you enter the flight deck the stall warning stops, the pitch is going down.
  1. The equipment is a A-330, you don’t know for sure which pilot has control and don’t know which inputs are applied.
  2. The equipment is a A-310, you see the right seater with 2 hands on the control wheel to maintain it to his stomach for half a minute.
Which scenario do you consider the most informative for you ?
