th to go, then with renewed vigor....
My take is that as well as PF did in his containment of his initial overcontrol in ROLL, he was unable to sense a neutral, in PITCH attitude. I would have expected that due to DIRECT LAW in ROLL, it should have been the reverse.
Simply put, PF was chronically either a) seeking to slow, or b ) seeking to avoid a descent. What other than those two would explain a chronic UP input? You point to his remedy of ROLL in "Phase 1". Later, with excursions in ROLL of over 40 degrees either side, he kept the bird from turning over. Again, a "mastery" of lateral. But an acute misunderstanding of PITCH.
Do you expect any surprises in BEA "Final"? I think most everything was anticipated at great length here. Do you think they will address UAS in full, for instance, discussing loss of Radome? How in depth will they go in analyzing the vagaries of the newest nemesis " Microcrystalline Water Ice"?
Will they rehash the badness of reselecting AutoPilot whilst in NCD?
A month to go, then with renewed vigor.....
all the best,
