For those unable to take subtle hints: anyone proving somatogravic illusion played a role in AF447, or for that matter that the illusion of pitch down due to deceleration in any airliner incident/accident, would make such a breakthrough that he would stand a good chance of winning both Collier trophy and Nobel for medicine. Good luck with it and don't try to do it with G-CPAT incident, it was pitch-up illusion. Basic aerodynamics folks. Lift to drag. Trust to weight.
Answer "a la clandestino" (fair enough)

Because they are absolutely inessential in transporter! We might install them one day when we go seriously about the business of air combat in A330 but I can't see it happening anytime soon.
It is certain (for clandestino at least) that AOA is truly one of the less important data
However when this data is outside that prescribed for the airplane ..this airplane become an iron mainly subject to the Newton law ....
