Lyman,
From BEA Interim Report #e3, p.89:
2 h 10 min 10: The stall warning is triggered. The angles of attack 1, 2, and 3 values are respectively 2.1°, 4.9° and 5.3°.
02 h 10 min 10,4 : SV : “Stall, stall” (without cricket)
From the graph on page 42 at 2 h 10 min 10,4: Pitch attitude = 4.2°, V/S = 495 fpm, Updraft velocity = 1124 fpm. That same graph also shows that in the simulation of the sidestick inputs without turbulence the AoA would have reached 4°.
The stall warning threshold at Mach=0.8 has been documented prior to FDR recovery in BEA Interim Report no.2 and in the Air Caraibes memo to be slightly above 4°.
Why is it so difficult to understand that the stall warning was triggered when the AoA exceeded the warning threshold due to the combination of sidestick input and a minor gust?
