Tom Laxey, in relation to your first question if my memory serves way back on the first thread it was revealed this particular A330-200 did not have AOA sensors mounted. That should be checked as it has tremendous bearing on some of our bloviating here.
AoA sensor or AoA INSTRUMENT/DISPLAY?????
How does the plane figure a stall without AoA sensors? Or compute AoA protection in Normal Law?
Answers on a post card....
There are
Three Angle Of Attack (AOA) sensors, one on left (#1),
two on right (#2, #3) of airplane nose...
