Back in AF447 Thread No.6 I constructed a graphic incorporating BEA Interim Report No.3 FDR data in a similar format previously used when HazelNuts39 provided simulated data derived from the BEA's Interim Report No.2.

I have now placed additional data on the graphic, and it can be viewed here.

With reference to the FD, it is interesting to note that the THS (cyan trace) takes off as the PF appears to try and hold the pitch attitude at 15° NU during the period the FD was apparently available. In the same period the thrust has played a considerable part in maintaining the NU attitude.
