Maximum possible A320 descent rate?
This may have already been answered through the thread (the pages keep piling up!)
1. If the PF held the sidestick pitch down to max, then I'm guessing the aircraft would eventually reach a point where the A320's speed protection would kick in and pitch and speed stabilize at a sort of nose-down equilibrium @ max permitted speed?
2. Would any Bus pilots here be able to comment on whether the final descent profile/speed of Flight 9525 fits with a pilot holding the nose down at the speed protection limit?
3. Could a pilot descend faster in an A320 by manually switching flight control modes?
