Thanks, Wolf.

Sure glad Doze ain't up front analyzing all the data and trusting HAL. Whew!

Hell, the thing is acting like we designed it. It's "their fault". etc, etc.

The AoA "protections" should have remained in force, as actual CAS never got below 60 knots. Many ways to verify the AoA inputs, and AoA is prolly the most important flight parameter for all phases of flight.

I re-read the CVR and see the PNF reminding the nugget that "we're climbing", two or three times. No clue as to what the PNF did after that or during that. But the nugget kept pulling, maybe believng that HAL would prevent a stall AoA.
