Couple of clangers in the technical details. > how can the plane stall and over-speed at the same time? The aircraft is telling him it is flying at both maximum and minimum speeds. Stalling is due to angle of attack, not speed, and it is possible to overspeed and stall at the same time. Though admittedly not while flying straight and level, in cruise, as they were here. > In the Boeing 747 jumbo – the backbone of global aviation for almost five decades – pilots' control sticks are connected by wires and pulleys to parts of the plane such as the tail. Pretty sure the 747 was all hydraulic.
