Hypothetical Scenario

Suppose the E-190 commenced a descent from altitude by bringing the throttles to idle, and the guys flying it were then no longer able to do so (for whatever reason.)

What would the aircraft then do-assuming initially flying with AP engaged?

Best answered by those with experience in that type aircraft.

You might have to add initial conditions of various initial nose down pitch attitudes at the time the crew ceased to function.

The objective is to see if we can create a flight profile that then fits the observed data.
