Interesting discussion. Congratulations to Dozy for his field research. I do not doubt any second that what he experienced was very close to what did the crew of AF447.

Still this is no proof that he (and me, and BEA and some other pro Airbus people) are right about the accident. You still could argue that the simulator did not simulate what the real aircraft experienced in her dire situation. That the simulation of the case is just an interpolation of known aircraft situations. That the AF447 was so far away from known that they experienced something completly else.

The only thing that Dozy proofed is what we (Airbus people) already knew: stick movement were consistent with aircraft movements, Airbusses are pretty easy to handle and stall recognition, recovery and UAS situation are possible to handle.

But I'm sure he is right. And that an A330 is behaving very similar if not easier than a A320.
