I've only seen excerpts of the CVR transcript...does anyone have a good link to the entire transcript?
There is a sad fact in training about stalls ...
Minimizing altitude loss instead of sacrificing altitude to achieve a safe AOA is not beeing taught anymore. Yet still a recovery would demand firewall power, which was not done.
In one of the jets I've flown the manual clearly says for stalls above 25,000' one must sacrifice altitude for AOA/Airspeed.
When I taught stalls in small planes, an approach to landing stall was taught with dsitractions like dropping a microphone on the floor.
We would all be better served with a cockpit video recorder...I WANT TO KNOW exactly what the pilots saw on their insturments...not what was recorded on the FDR.
