Cool

Hi,

They didn't need an AOA display on their PFD to fly the Aircraft.
I disagree ...
You can't be so affirmative.
Methink the AF447 case is enough to understand that some pilots or aircraft under certain condition need a AOA display.
So ... the solution is to go to the most safe side and have a AOA display
And also needed a stall alarm who sound with no interrupt when aircraft is in stall condition
Save lifes first .. with experienced or inexperienced pilot is a noble task
Foolproof .. as always.

Was in 2006

6 Conclusion
An unreliable speed situatio may be difficult to identify, due to the multiple scenarios that can lead to it. Therefore, training is a key element: indeed the flight crew's ability to rapid detected the abnormal situation, and to correctely handle it, is cricial.
In case of any doubt, the pilot should apply the pitch/thrust memory items, and then refer to the QRH to safely fly the aircraft, and to positively determine the faulty source(s) before eliminating it (them).
In addition, to further assit the pilot in detecting the failure and safely fly the aircraft, Airbus has developed the BUSS, which provides a safe flying range indication.
Finaly, to reduze the probally of experiencing unreliable speed situations, on-ground actions, such as comprehensive maintenance and through pre-flight exterior inspection, should be stressed.
