Retired F4;
I agree with everything you have written in your last post, but don't grasp the point you're making.
Its the exchange with DW and his continued saying, that the THS was driven by the NU SS input of the crew. And that is not correct, imho it had no effect at all, because only a continued SS ND input would have prevented the THS from moving NU.
The exit of the flightpath was the failure of the crew, a following prolonged and prominent ND input could have corrected this failure in the early flight envelope extension.
I would agree even with your last quote from the Human Factors part of the BEA report, if you remove the words "an extremely purposeful".
Itīs not in the section of the HF group, and i dont have the authority to change the wording of BEA. It would be nice toi know, what caused this marvalleous sentence.
