@RRR:

EgyptAir 990 is indeed I did refer to.

I know it was initiated by FO but still the captain was unable to recover the situation.

Maybe summation (Airbii) isn't too bad at all.


All suggestions to improve safety/recovery should be considered.
but since this is a one time occurance NOT all the suggestions needs to be implemented, first of all they need to be effective.

The A330 is late 80 technology, CRT displays at that time were limited in performance and in symbology displayed at the same time.
Large LCDs in A380(and will A350) / 787 are capable to display a lot more information at the same time e.g. flight controls position.

For the AF447 the F/CTL SD page was automatically called and in view when F/CTL RUD TRV LIM FAULT ECAM was triggered.
In the BEA reports they do not mention any CLEAR action or SD page switching. (if recorded), the F/CTL page could still have been in view all the time.
