mm43, if it got them totally confused it's a software specification design problem. If the airspeed is less than 60kts, suddenly and the plane is 10k feet above ground for the plane's estimated location it's "obviously" stalled. It cannot fly that slow. So why isn't it continuously telling the pilot he IS stalled? (None of this about to stall warning nonsense.)

Methinks the damn good system software for the A330-200 can be improved, as can all software. And this is one good improvement. Enshrine the knowledge early so that when we DO get to autonomous SLF carriers this is one fewer problem the aircraft will face. (The communications problems should be covered as well with a "guaranteed" work around.)
