TP - may I summarise with a question? As you know, I have no knowledge of AB technology, but I assume it true to say that if the AoA vane had been 'jammed' in its rest (ie hanging straight down) position, it would never sense AoA near the stall and therefore not trigger AFloor, nor, I guess might any indications of such a position be apparent in 'normal' flight? Does all of this depend on a serviceable AoA vane and pilot monitoring of speed/attitude? How many AoA vanes are there on the 320?
I am confused (as are some 'apparent' AB pilots
) as to what (if anything) happens then to pitch/power/A Throttle with the onset of subsequent stall - presumably no stick shake, just a classic stall with possible wingdrop - I guess the a/c would not 'know' it had stalled? I also understand that by then the tail would have been trimmed well noseup and it appears (if I understand this correctly) that the a/c could then prevent you from recovering from the ensuing dive by limiting 'g'?
(Bring back the 'overstress' ability you and I recall - the days of popped rivets and being alive for the boss's reprimand....)
