When he was telling Bonin (PF) CLIMB!, what was the other pilot seeing? BECAUSE, as we know, BONIN was holding NOSE UP, he said so. He was PF, and yet the other pilot said CLIMB? Didn't HE SEE THE DISPLAYS?
"But I have been holding NOSE UP". Tell us again the displays were working?
Why did PF have to TELL anyone he was commanding NU?
This tells us Number One: No one knew (except RHS!) RHS STICK POSITION.
NUMBER TWO, with the a/c commanded NU, how did the others not see this on the displays?
NO ONE knew the attitude. For THREE, BEA stays quiet after ""I have no displays" (When Captian enters). We must assume NO DISPLAYS came back, ever.....
PILOT A: "Climb, Climb"
PILOT B: "NO, Do Not Climb"
PILOT C: "But I have been holding NOSE UP for some while"
None knew attitude. What display?
These are discussions of what they should do with the CONTROLS. And they are clraerly confused. FOR ONE, they know they are plummeting down, For Two, they are guessing at which way to cammand the NOSE. How can PNF tell "CLIMB", if he know the a/c is PITCHED UP at 17 degrees? The displays are not working, and they are trying to suss anything that will stop the descent, without knowledge of NU, clearly.
