Graphs
Would the performance graphs have looked different if they had been made following the suggestions in AB's" Safety First" -Page 10 issue Jan 2011 ?
These include :
"Autopilot and autothrottle...Off
Nose down pitch control...Apply until out of stall...
Nose down pitch trim...As needed ...( ...this will also address autopilot induced full back trim.)
Thrust.... As needed.....for engines installed below the wing applying maximum thrust can create a strong nose up pitching moment if the speed is low......
Speed Brake...Retract
Bank... Wings level Apply gentle action for recovery to avoid secondary stalls, then return to desired flight path."
The main differences appear to be Thrust and some contributors seem to think that 10 -15 degrees ND might be more appropriate or enough.
