Sensation is critical, do not get confused.
No it isn't - as the Flash Airlines report stated, sensation should always be ignored in favour of what the instruments are telling the crew.

In this cockpit, instrumentation is a crapshoot, in the eyes of the crew.
Only in your mind - evidence suggests that airspeed data and only airspeed data was missing for a short period at the start of the sequence.

Though there is such a similar animal in non Airbii....
The aural Stall Warning was disregarded in this case, just as it was in the Birgenair crash - in the latter case even a stick-shaker didn't help.
