My last para in #11 says it all.

OMG.

Yeah, Per Le Fig original report, Airbus is exonerated.

This doesn't even count as CFIT. So hard to believe.

Pilots all have many hours of experience in, when you need to go up, pull back. Need to go down, push stick forward.

The problem is, even before a stall condition, getting “behind the power curve”, i.e; too slow, leads to full power, nose high descents.

When learning to fly twins, the hardest part, when you lose one and you are slow, is accepting the fact that you have to put the nose DOWN, right toward those nasty power lines, RIGHT NOW, in order to eventually climb.

The Colgan Air 3407 crash approaching Buffalo is a classic example of this.
