The plane begins go stall. The autopilot, unable to cope, disengages completely." So why didn't the autopilot stop once it got to a too high attitude? Would fly-by-wire system, which you said isn't on that plane have not allowed it to get to that attitude and it only got to that high of an attitude beucase it didn't have a fly-by-wire system? | |

Also from the CVR transcript is looks like the pilot ordered more thrust and wasn't controlled by the auto-thrust. All the "autopilot" systems should disengaged when the aircraft enters an unusual attitude. | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 18:33 | comment | added | Gary Zenger | ok that makes sense, but what about the autopilot over pitching and for the thrust to increases once it reaches an unsafe level? | |
