Hi Grity,
That was posted well over a year ago, and is mostly a regurgitation of Davies excellent book. That pitching moment curve Davies provided was no doubt derived from a T-tailed aircraft and had a "sticking spot" that kept the aircraft from pitching back down after a deep stall. Probably the more recent pitching moment curves from the FAA generic airliner stall study are more appropriate to AF447.
