....fascinating no doubt but what's the point of asking such a question in an exam when during yr normal life as an Airline driver you can do nothing about that characteristic of airflow or even know it's happening other than it's end result (stall). Mr Airbus & Mr Boeing have made sure that such aerodynamic forces are relayed to us drivers via the multiple complex stall warning devices etc,reaction by the fright crew should be automatic, it's all about AoA, that's all we need to know/remember!.........weird how the boffins of the aviation world reckon we ought to know it from a purists POV.

But at the end of the day just pass the exam/s then do a memory dump & get on with the actual flying
