Way back on page thirty-something, it was theorized that none of the three pilots recognized the stall because none of them said anything about getting the nose down.

I have been in a full stall in a swept wing narrowbody (MD80 on a post m/x flight check) and I can add my agreement to that theory. In my case, I was the pilot monitoring the system (stall warning) and was surprised by the unexpected break. Rest assured that I immediately started yelling "PUSH" at the top of my lungs.

To all: As a current A320 Capt, these threads on PPRuNe have been a valuable learning experience. Thank You to everyone.

PS. My carrier produced and trained a fine scenario for Sim Tng of the UAS scenario. But it was based on ADIRU issues not external issues that could cause confusion in the FBW system. This forum has added far more to my knowledge of UAS issues than the airline tng ever did. Thanks again to everyone.
