Yep......nose gear.Was this the burnt bulb, many moons ago?
Adjusting his seat? He was trying to bring the plane down.
I read the report and agree. It seems like the FO was pulling an "Egypt Air". Same situation; captain leaves the flight deck and FO puts the plane into a dive. In the Egypt Air accident the captain did make it back to the flight deck also and tried to pull back on the yoke, but the FO was pushing forward to strongly. The plane broke apart in flight and the crashed into the Atlantic. The FO in this situation was also keeping massive forward pressure on the yoke and this time the captain had more strength and pulled the plane out of the dive. The only thing missing from this situation was that this FO was not saying prayers like the Egypt Air FO. I don't but the whole "bumping of the controls".
That's my two cents.
Are you saying that this was an Egypt Air attempt but done in a way so as to make it look like an accident?? If it was an actual attempt, don't you think he would have done it? It's not hard to disconnect the AP and point the nose straight down.
At this time, a split in the position and sensor force is recorded between the captain and first officer's (FO) columns. The left column force sensor reached 130 pounds nose-up, as the right column force sensor reached -200 pounds nose-down.
