Pg.173: Following the autopilot disconnection, the PF very quickly applied nose-up side stick inputs. The PF's inputs may be classified as abrupt and excessive. The excessive amplitude of these inputs made them unsuitable and incompatible with recommended airplane handling practices for high altitude flight.
Where does it say that the pilot's inputs were not inconsistent with flight in Normal Law? Clearly, the pilot, by evidence of the SS traces, is laboring under the illusion that his stick stirring is not going to produce a problem. Has he missed something? Debatable...
The prose in the report does not jive with its own conclusion, that the SS actions of the pilot resulted in unsuitable results. They did in hindsight, but as gums tells us, this manner of control response is more insidious than many will consider.
Failing that, the results of the Pitch commands can just as easily be laid off on inattention to horizon, which is just as culpable...Any unsuitable results that are caused by a collection of miscues are not the result of just one. Do you not see the prejudice inherent in this text, this
report?
Do you not recall the endless discussions regarding the pilots initial Nose Up commands interspersed with Nose Down? The discussion re: a lack of initial response of the aircraft? Sluggishness? Where is that? Only the "emphatic" and "inappropriate" NU......
