The document (statement of claim) said it did not advise that in certain conditions, the plane's flight path angle could be affected by external forces.
So, Air Canada is suing Airbus, accusing that Airbus did not advise them about gravity?

It also claims Airbus failed to incorporate a warning system to alert pilots to a deviation from the planned flight path angle.
Isn't the PNF the warning system? Air Canada already pays for one on every flight!

"(Airbus) failed to provide adequate and/or accurate information as to how pilots should correct a deviation in the flight path in circumstances where manual intervention was required," ...
I have not read an Airbus Flight Manual, I wonder if it has a picture of the side stick explaining "pull back for nose up". I suppose placarding requirements may be more basic than I realized!

As a Canadian pilot, I'm embarrassed by these claims attributed to Air Canada. Sorry rest of the world
