Salute!

Thanks, bernd

Guess many were not there for the megathon AF447 discussion about the stall warning relationship to the Aoa when speed was under 60 knots.
On that night, the plane proved it was very stable in a deeply stalled part of the envelope, and had only a slight change in heading versus a violent yaw/roll . So smooth that the crew didn't understand that they had actually stalled - no stall warning audio due to the 60 knot criteria and the "you can't stall this plane" mentality of many at the time.
