OLD CARTHUSIAN:
No. And No. Retired F4 refers to the Nose Down at 2:10:00, when the aircraft was on autopilot. Hence the pilots had nothing to do with the Nose Down Pitch.
Are you now claiming the autopilot was incompetent??
If so, let's begin...
Quote (from BEA pp 88):
"...02:10:00 Pitch attitude decreases from 1.8° to 0° in 3 seconds.
Also visible in the FDR readout on BEA IR3 page 111..."
Response?
