- I have missed that fact - can you elaborate a little please? Does it have the necessary option to deliberately over-ride as I proposed months ago following PGF?

loss of control in pitch
- unless you have evidence that control in pitch was 'lost' I think that line is misleading. I think you are confusing a known aerodynamic shift in CP with 'loss of control'? I understood from the report that they were in fact able to maintain a high nose attitude in pitch with side-stick/THS and/or lower the nose occasionally with side stick? Is that not 'control', even if 'up' was the wrong 'control'? Am I wrong?
