They had 40 seconds to avert the accident from what I read. the memory items for runaway trim take about 1 minute in a relatively calm simulator with a professional 37 pilot to get to that point where they flip the switch[0]. They still had an incorrectly trimmed aircraft when they got to that point. also of note was that the pilots in the sim were at 3000' AGL where the other ones that crashed were at about 1000' AGL.

- maimeowmeow 8y agoTo be frank, they shouldved went faster then. Emergency situation is no time to fool around. One of them was praying. Imagine if both people were trying at the same time. They could have finished two steps at a time.
- weaksauce 8y agoWell, to be frank back, the steps are sequential not parallel. I haven't read anything about the CVR but if they were praying instead of flying that's a huge mistake. They didn't have much time though and they didn't have much altitude to work with(in fact, I just looked it up and they were 450' AGL when they started having some troubles but I couldn't find anything on the cvr transcript). the old adage of aviate, navigate, communicate in that order applies.
