jcjeant,
Greetings, Sir. You have quoted the Captain, Marc Dubois....
"There I don’t know,
there it’s going down...."
PNF Robert has asked the Captain essentially a specific question about a specific problem, what is that problem?
I believe the problem was getting the Nose down. We all complain about the PF: Why does he pull back so much...? So do the two non flying pilots address the chronic Nose up in this exchange? I think, yes.
Are they merely preoccupied with the Pitch, not knowing Cedric is pulling? Or do they know he pulls for some other reason? Without question they know their problem is Stall, the two unmistakable cues cannot be avoided, Nose Up, and descent.
The message is clear: unto their demise, two pilots cannot figure out why the Nose is Up. If it is because they do not know Bonin pulls, then at least in this aircraft, the method of death is a SideStick that is not visible to other than the one pilot using it.
Solution? For any aircraft that may crash in this manner, the SideStick must be relocated. The problem will be how to identify which aircraft might die this way?
And then reconfigure the sticks. That will be complex, is there an easier way to prevent this stick arrangement from killing more people?
What a dilemma....
