In reply to aguadalte: ...and agree on the aerobatics, too... But to all airline pilots. Not just Airbus drivers.
Gliders and aerobatics are a great learning tool. It is unbelievable the number of actual airline pilots who have never actually experienced to fly more than 30 deg bank turns...




YES! Totally agreed!
Maybe in the long run we could even extinct the use of the word "Stall speed" by Pilots and use the correct "Stall angle of attack".

Especially in aerobatics it can be seen - and demonstrated - that a wing can be stalled at almost any speed (limited by structural design), remain unstalled even at 0 airspeed (with 0 g´s) and that the attitude / pitch / bank is only secondary.
