They entered a climb "as rapid as 7000 fpm" as the Auto Trim motored smoothly to full NU, where it stayed until impact. (full Nose Up. = -14 degrees)
Crew had no AoA indicator, neither did they have the optional Artificial Horizon, or BUSS.
They noted the climb, though their CRM lacked a concurrent discussion of recovery. "There was no reduction in climb rate, post discussion..."
They tried to regain the “bird” in the display, ("to "see" flight Path, or to calculate AoA is not known") and the F/O had desperately tried to move the FCM into “Direct Law”. " Possibly by defeating the FCS by opening the Breaker?"
Alterations included....
