Look at the Stall point. With his stick at aft 12 degrees, he moves it forward about 20 degrees, instantly, and he already has TOGA, so to me this shows a textbook STALL recovery. It also shows, via the AoA green line, that the a/c did break, her nose drops. Follow the AoA line, and mind the sequence of "bumps". I think each of these bumps is a secondary STALL, then Tertiary, etc. He is trying to "fly" on the "good" side of the Break. Each time it breaks, he thinks he is STALLING, then recovering. He has the authority to arrest the "descent" (stop the NOSE from falling further) each time it breaks, sad...... and thanks to the THS. The STALLWARN is counterintuitive, at this point. I think he hears the WARNING as an "About to STALL", instead of STALLED. This is how the a/c gets completely away from him, as all his forward speed goes away, and he refuses to allow the NOSE to drop seriously, into what may have been a recovery.
mm43. What an awesome graph. It is as if one is there, in the cockpit.
