Or the AoA was a product of the other pilot over correcting from what they thought was unintended nose down behavior. Hard to say, clearly bad procedure either way though. It's why there's clear protocol regarding who is in control of the plane.
- tempnow987 5y agoThe issue is that the REALITY was the plane was going very nose up at low speed. That is THE situation that gets you into a stall / spin situation. Close to the ground in the pattern most folks in the US are taught to be very careful about this. Ie, when you are low and slow, don't go for a big pitch up or a steep bank. There isn't time to recover. That said, I've got NO clue about 777's, so maybe a 25 degree pitch up on takeoff / go around is normal. Hard to imagine aerodynamically that working.

- _abox 5y agoCan confirm in Europe. We don't even get taught much spin recovery, just spin avoidance, seeing that a spin can't be recovered from within final altitudes anyway
