RetiredF4, thanks for a good discussion on this important item. Perhaps we'll see some authentic change in these areas which should be relatively straightforward to implement. I also look forward to how the BEA Final Report's recommendations on this and other issues raised. The installation of an AoA indication was also an NTSB recommendation made in the Airborne Express DC8 accident in 1996.
Re your comment, "...itīs a question of money and will.", Yes sir, it most certainly is, especially in these times, or as someone put it so well here, "It's an indication of the value placed by a carrier on human life", or some such similar pithy statement.
Dozy, thanks for the link. The comment makes sense, given that Airbus is "in process" regarding all outcomes of the BEA work.
