Looking forward: Disregarding the obvious basic flying issues in this accident, What technical aid would be the most cost-effective way to prevent this from happening again?
I still suggest that a "deceleration alert" would have helped not only to avoid this accident, but in several other occurrences too.
I.e. an alert which is triggered in conditions where, if nothing changes, the aircraft will stall in X seconds (X somewhere between 5 and 10).
In this accident it seems the stick shaker would have done the trick, but only if the response had been both instant and perfect, which it wasn't. An "early warning" deceleration alert may in this accident have given the crew the vital additional seconds to discover that the throttle levers needed to be forcibly pushed against the AT. And it would be equally useful in other situations when the crew is distracted and does not notice the airspeed decaying until the actual stall warning/stick shaker, which may well be too late.
Comments? Feel free to criticize, but then preferably include an alternative solution
