Report: blocked AOA sensors caused loss of control during A320 check flight
note this was with experienced pilots !!
In this Airbus crash 2 out of 3 AoA sensors were frozen. The stall was NOT caused by faulty flight computers but was the result of the pilots voluntarily trying to stall the aircraft to "check" the AoA protection (which could not save them since sensors were frozen). At 2000 ft this is kind of a roulette russe
