Hello

AoA wasn't available to the crew, except in an obscure way: it can be calculated using the FD, and the "bird" (FPV?). Frustrating their decision making, especially after the Stall established, was the Pitch wasn't crazy, even when the AoA reached 40+.....it was 10-15 degrees, actual. None of the three had experienced a mushing Stalled trajectory, except perhaps Bonin the glider pilot.
