Turbine D,

Point taken, but there is no other way to describe the Stall. It didn't help having full Nose Up Trim, and under slung engines at full chat (which induces nose up). Once the wing unloaded, and THS remained all NU, the elevators became trim tabs. Also, this aircraft is longitudinally stable, it resists emphatic changes in Pitch something the "trim tabs" though recorded, had little effect...upon.

Once the aircraft "settled in", it may actually have seemed docile. But the recovery shouldn't have been necessary anyway. As Wiedehopf points out, in Alternate Law, the 330 becomes a different "beast".
