AF447 final crew conversation - Thread No. 1

[Zorin_75]

I suspect that when the aircraft initially stalled, the 1g acceleration earthwards would have created a "falling sensation".

1 g earthwards is what you're feeling right now.

How long it took to reach terminal velocity, no idea. Someone cleverer than me can probably calculate it with the right data.

Or he could look at page 106 of interim report #3.
