When they did that final electric trim up, the right (more reliable) ASI indicates 365 knots. VMO is 340, so they were already in real trouble. It's not at all clear that even electric trim could overcome the air loads at that point to trim up, though it does look from the graph like it responded slightly.
- treis 8y agoAt 05:40:30 you can see that the trim did change in response to pilot inputs at roughly the same speed. It should have been able to respond when they re-enabled electric trim unless there was some other failure. It will be interesting to see the full report with more detail about what the pilots did and why.
