@ Lyman: The altitude was barely above select cruise, @ 35.3k. @ 2:10:18. So my question might be: only 35,300? Why is this a/c climbing so sluggish? I don't dispute the Pitch picture, but it didn't match with Alt, necessarily, after ten seconds of climbing. The video catch does not represent the dynamic nature of the trends?

If we are 'speaking' may I ask what may be a clumsy question? The Nose was rising at a/p loss, and the PF input NU directly. Yet the a/c has only climbed 400 feet in approx. ten seconds. I've thought about this for some time. See pp 29 BEA#3. Is there any chance, given the FD were left on, that V/S got away from PF, and he was in the weeds, so to speak, re: PITCH and response, V/S?

I mentioned it long ago, something as: "Additive" input.

By the time (2:10:22) A/LAW is annunciated, the a/c is beginning a remarkable climb, can this have anything whatever to do with V/S and V/S select as the summed command, and the climb getting "Away" from the crew?

Thank you for your patience, here.
