Another media episode in this saga.

How such firm conclusions about pilot training can be reached on the basis of the massaged information that has already been released is beyond me - well actually it isn't beyond me as such, it is simply depressing.

I suspect that there are serious issues with the way the Airbus is to be operated in such a non-normal case.

According to some of our esteemed posters, the notion of stall warners that turn themselves off, overly sensitive controls, lack of multicrew coordination with regard to the flight control command and position, autotrim systems that leave the pilot with full aft trim and the alleged volume of contradictory warnings and cautions are as inexplicable as a design as the apparent actions of the pilots.

Also, does anybody remember this incident? The A330 radar that didn't paint a CB. This has probably been answered somewhere, but which radar configuration was fitted 447?
