I have actually a LOT to criticize :
- All the graphs are of the lowest standard. I would not have wasted any time on them if you didn't mention the one on page 9. I do think the BEA made its best effort to make sure nobody would be tempted to read them.
- Those flight and simulator tests were purely smoke screens - what was needed was only the DFDR data to be compared with the most detailed programming of the FCS.
If you increase your AoA the loadfactor increases.
Load factor increase should reveal a change of path, from level flight to ...
climb.
The IAS continues to fall until the thrust has increased sufficiently to accelerate the airplane.
I still disagree with your concept.
Kinetic energy is transformed in potential energy until the thrust has increased sufficiently to confirm the early but short term positive climb as IAS now remains stable at Valphamax.
