The accident itself is still a mystery to me. I only saw the first
half of the show, but that part made it look like the crew made some
very fundamental errors; not maintaining airspeed, and a very strange
response to the stall. *Has there been any other analysis (made
public) that explains the captain pulling back on the stick during the
stall?
As I was watching the special and they described how the captain
reacted to the stall warning I couldn't help wonder if he attended the
same tailplane icing course I did. His reaction was text book correct
for a tailplane stall in icing conditions (pull back, not push
forward). He may have believed his problem was ice, not an typical
stall scenario.
