Question. The aircraft (F-GZCP) was in an airstream that was actively changing directions, from the VSI, her accelerations were brisk in the vertical. This was happening at 2:10:05, both sides. ( before and after). So since I've not seen an answer, let me ask again. The ACARS show a WindShear event of some description. Is there a possibility Bonin was reacting to this? Was there no W/S alert on the ECAM? Seems to me WindShear can cause discrepancies in Pitot reporting, sufficient to not only cause autopilot to drop out, but to degrade the Control Law as well....
