He has released the sidestick, for less nose up, but to point the nose down (negative pitch), that won’t be the FD command if the goal is to reduce the V/S to a still
positive 1500 fpm. What could have helped to point the nose down and let all the problems behind was for the PF to promptly request to his PNF to select a
negative V/S on the FCU (probably at least minus 1000 fpm …), if his goal was to benefit from the FD directions of course, but for that, he would have had to realize first that the present vertical command was unrealistic.
