The aircraft was effectively stalled before the THS passed 5°NU.
Yes...but the question is: did they have enough pitch command to put the nose down when the THS reached more than 13º nose up?
(please, before replying that the aircraft could have been manually trimmed by them, please consider that apart from direct law flight sim situations, (done my flight sim check today) FBW pilots may have the chance to never touch a trim wheel during their whole life...)
