1. Lift control
Thank you Gums !
Now it is very clear that French aviation and Airbus were guilty to stop the use of the Klopfstein HUD ! Pilots were deliberately deprived gradually since the HUD was on the Air Inter A310.

No air data required. The sucker used inertial data only, and showed where the jet was gonna impact the ground or climb above the ridge or.... Invaluable for an instrument approach. And with AF447, it would have shown that the aircraft velocity vector was approaching zero pitch well before they flew into the stall.
2. Unloading the wing to recover, stalling deeply
And they had already been deprived from beeing able to come out of stall, as Machinbird and Hazelnuts39 showed us that.

Thank you to you, all three,
