Final Report A318 (F-GUGD) vicinity Toulon-Hyeres France, 20 Dec 2019
On 20 December 2019, an Airbus A318 making a tailwind ILS approach to Toulon-Hyères with the autopilot engaged and expecting to intercept the glideslope from above had not done so when reaching the pre-selected altitude and after levelling off, it then rapidly entered a steep climb as it captured the glideslope false upper lobe and the automated stall protection system was activated. Mishandling the recovery caused a second stall protection activation before a sustained recovery was achieved. The Investigation noted poor crew interaction between a Captain who was relatively inexperienced in that rank and a First Officer inexperienced on type.
