As flight 381 neared orly the airports ATIS system indicated that runway 26 was the runway in use, they had 10 kilometers of visibility and a few clouds at 2400 feet, A perfect day for flying into Paris and nothing that could cause them any problems on their way in. At 1:30 PM paris time flight 381 was out of 35,000 feet and began its descent at this point they were about 40 NM from the runway at orly. 6 minutes later they were passing through 15,000 feet, but ATC was not happy with their rate of descent ATC wanted flight 381 down at 6,000 feet in two minutes. As flight 381 descended the controller was beginning to set the plane up for the approach to runway 26, He asked the pilots to turn to 330 degrees as this would set the plane up on the base leg for runway 26. As they did so the plane overflew the melun VOR, their ground speed at this point was 400 knots which was way faster than they should have been . They were carrying a bit of extra speed but they felt like they could make the runway. Soon after this the controllers cleared the jet all the way down to 3000 feet. With the plane down at 3000 feet the controllers told the plane to turn to 310 degrees. Now this turn would help the pilots intercept the ILS of runway 26. The ILS is basically a radio beam that the plane can follow all the way down to the runway. Its an aid that can make landings a lot easier for pilots. Sure you can land without it but using the ILS just makes everything that much more easier. As the pilots turned to intercept the ILS the pilots had the runway in sight, and some of the monuments in paris. With the landing fast approaching, the pilots started to configure the plane for landing, they extended the slats,flaps and the gear. With that the plane made its final turn to line up with the runway, but once it had lined up with the runway the pilots noticed that the plane wasnt locking on to the ILS of runway 26 for some reason. The captain didnt make too much of this and so he disengaged the autopilot and began to hand fly the plane down to the runway. When the plane passsed through 1700 feet it had slowed all the way down to 195 knots and the captain asked for the flaps to be extended to 20. As soon as that had been done the the throttles advanced and the engines surged, due to all of this power the nose of the plane began to pitch up, the pilots were trying their best to counter the pitch of the plane, they immediately brought the throttles back to idle, but something was trimming the nose of the plane up, within seconds the horizontal stabilizer on the A310 had reached its nose up stops at the same time the elevators were at their maximum nose down positon. This plane was trying to do two things at the same time. The plane began to climb away from the gradual descent profile that the pilots had put it on and within no time the jet was pitching up at 60 degrees. For some context when youre taking off a passenger plane will be pitching up at about 10 degrees, so take what you feel on takeoff and make it 6 times worse that's what this plane was doing over paris. With the engines at idle and the nose pitching up wildly the plane could not sustain its steep climb, it slowly lost speed as it climbed and then at 4100 feet it slowed all the way down to 35 knots, thats 40 miles per hour. Picture a passenger jet at 4000 feet traveling at 40 miles per hour that's what this plane was doing. Without the forward momentum that it needed to keep
