Figure 62 of the final report shows what happened: Between 2:10:10 and 2:10:19 the AoA exceeded the stall warning threshold three times. Alpha-max is approximately 1 degree higher than the SW threshold and was exceeded at least once. I know that alpha-max in not alpha-stall, it is where pre-stall buffet starts. I don't know the stall AoA at M=0.8, do you? Does your TRE know?
