LR. It was only a comment on AD's tidy summation.
It's odd, I guessed you'd popped in between AD's post and mine by a second or so. But time does go by fast at my age.
Time and time again I'd asked if the 330 could deep stall, as there have been sooooo many references to it having done so. What I didn't do was assert myself in the way AD did.
I still do not know if it is possible for the A330 to become LOCKED into a stall - given all of the controls are functioning. I have always assumed it could not, but I've been surprised before.
Is there ANY way it could be stable and unrecoverable given say, <60 kts airspeed and high vertical speed? Again, all controls - especially the tailplane - fully functional.
