Whoever designed that thing needs their head read. How on earth can an aeroplane, with AP engaged, be doing 6000fpm when trying to level off at 3000ft during a GA?? And what was the ATS doing?? 110kts?? I'll bet that wasn't the selected speed or Vapp.
No wonder the crew "lost the plot".
Dark and bouncy. Dodgy for an FO who hadn't flown for 5 months?
Unless I'm missing something...
