Airbus Presentation

Somewhat old news, but this appeared in the Flightglobal Paris Airshow site.

From the Floght global article:
This presentation by Airbus test pilot Xavier Lesceu, given before a performance and operations conference in Dubai in May 2011, contains a detailed explanation of the blanket revision of procedures for stall recovery adopted last year.

It's particularly interesting to read in light of the revelations about Air France flight AF447, notably the observation that the previous recovery procedure could result in "reluctance to apply nose-down input".
P.S. Note the AOA display on the A-380
