"At present, the most critical element in an aircraft is the man/woman in control. How he perceives, how he analyzes, what he does, is under control of a brain that has been hard-wired to handle fear since before we became men. Some of the things that are hard wired in stressful, fear-inducing conditions are contrary to common sense and survival while in control of an aircraft."
'Twas ever so....
I need to post one last comment..... Air Indonesia, MetroJet, AF.
Different types, but All Airbus.
1. Normal cruise established, or normal climb (Metro)
2. Abnormal, leading to loss of a/p (and Normal Law) (pitch remains in normal law)
3. Crazy Climb, not consistent with pilot's limited Pitch authority: g load factor.
4. Loss of control.
5. Loss of aircraft.
Each climb was beyond "robust" and imo, exceeding pilots limited stick due Normal Law pitch prohibitions at elevator.
In AF447. Climb reached 7000fpm, and "maximum" g load of +1.75
In Perpignan, we know also the airframe limited pilot's authority. (Is gload available in report?)
I submit that even if duBois was present at the beginning of the abnormal (a/p loss) and 'Commanded' Bonin to climb at the demonstrated rate, he could not.
The Airbus will not allow the pilot to climb in that fashion.
Unfortunately, that may introduce another look at the aircraft?
