Hi TD

"The latest in stall recovery: The current fighters (F-22, F-35) "enter and leave" the deep stall region routinely using engine thrust vectoring."

The A330 in 447 was using thrust to keep themselves (or augment) Stalled.
Unfortunately thrust was symmetrical, and limited as to vector, except for value. Utilizing thrust to recover was available. Unfortunately, again, it was not utilized. Pulling back the levers and pushing forward the stick......but that is not the issue. Once STALLED, the argument is wallowing in irrelevancy.....

Maybe gums could put together a syllabus for recovery from Unusual entry, Stall. Or...

From the outset, for me, this accident happened in twenty seconds, and again, for me, BEA is holding back some cards. From the outset, partisans have been comparing 447 to the other UAS. To me, that is preposterous. Each accident has a unique signature, and basing a conclusion on the similarities to improve safety is arse about. What makes us go forward with new knowledge is to assess what is different.
