Chimbu,

Under certain situations involving loss of airspeed and/or ADR problems along with flight control law degradation, the A320/330/340 etc can be providing the pilot with false overspeed warnings AS WELL AS stall warnings. In such a situation, the overspeed protections may become active providing the pilot with a nose up bias that requires constant forward pressure until the failure is resolved or the affected ADR is switched off. I know of several very experienced pilots that have been tripped up in the sim with failures such as these.

Again, sitting on ones hands in such a situation would not work.

I ask you, why did an experienced crew crash an MD11 recently in NRT. Why did an experienced crew crash a 737 in Jamaica recently?

Are these accidents not debated so much simply because they were not crewed by cadets?
