Hi,

DW
When we were discussing things earlier, we were talking about the AF447 accident sequence as we know it to have occurred, and I was of the opinion that the PNF had a better handle on the aircraft's situation and as such, should have felt empowered to take control.

Subtle changes in terms of words, but major changes in terms of meaning. The exchange was actually:

Quote:
02:13:39 - PNF : Climb climb climb climb
02:13:40 - PF : But I’ve been at maxi nose-up for a while
02:13:40 - CDB : No no no don’t climb
02:13:40 - PNF : So go down
It was the PNF that was saying "climb", immediately followed by a bunch of DUAL INPUT warnings. I think the Captain suddenly realised what had happened at this point.
After that ..do you stay scotched on your first opinion (I was of the opinion that the PNF had a better handle on the aircraft's situation and as such, should have felt empowered to take control.) ?
