Some questions for the Airbus gurus.
Would the automatics eventually recover from any condition resulting from a jet upset? Stall/Spin? Inverted?
So if all hell is breaking loose, would re-engaging the A/P and A/T be a viable option?
Mind you the Capt was an experienced F4 & F16 pilot, you'd think that inverted stall/spin recovery in IMC would be second nature to him.
Will the FBW allow the pilot to pull excessive G? Or will it try to protect the airframe even if it means contact with the ground will be inevitable?
