To be told that the THS moved from 3 to 13 degrees in 1 minute or that the THS moved accordingly to the stick inputs and as designed is vastly insufficient.

The "influence of the THS" argument has been demonstrated as a non-starter.
Far from it.
Owain Glyndwr made very interesting comments which should have been already part of a final report. The BEA had all the necessary tools to elaborate further on the subject.
  • 3 degrees versus 13 ?
  • No autotrim versus autotrim ?
  • Direct Law versus Altn36Z ?
Owain Glyndwr comments are necessary and welcome. They deserve further analysis but are certainly not already the conclusion to avoid looking in that direction.

Why not trimming in a stall ?
You’ve been asked the question.
You did not reply ... ?
