Interesting in what uplinker states
Soon after that, the nose dipped
We now know the simulators are not demonstrating the true nature of an A330 high altitude stall. AF447 nose did not dip! I had been flying the 330 for about 2 years when AF447 happened. Up to then all training in the sim demonstrated that the aircraft had conventional stall characteristics. So on the sim even if you held on back stick the nose would eventually drop/dip after some buffeting.
After all this time negative training is still alive & well. "Criminal IMHO"
