Finally got around to reading this - despite the occasional endearing translation error it's good stuff and surprisingly makes the AoA situation (which I must confess confused me when described in raw numbers) understandable to a maths/physics dolt like me.
On another note though, it does rather put a spoke in the wheel of those who are saying Airbus/BAE/DGAC are trying to sweep the issue of AF447 under the rug by blaming the pilots, because in the article Airbus come out and directly state that the previous procedures (which they helped develop) were inadequate and in some cases could make a developed stall worse - in short, they're admitting - in print - that they, along with the rest of the industry, screwed up to some degree.
