Pin it on the protections? What brought the aircraft in a 12 degree nose down pitch with 9400fpm within 10 seconds of the AOA probes becoming faulty?
Wait dont answer that.... the protections.
If this airbus a330 would have been equipped with BUSS, switching off those ADR's would have put the aircraft under manual control with AOA information displayed on the PFD's... What would have happened in that case???
dozy you need to get your pink glasses off, this type of aircraft needs a normal control switch to turn off the protections when they are clearly not controlling the aircraft in an acceptable manner.
12 degrees nosedown is NOT ACCEPTABLE! Havimg to switch of ADR's to regain control over some renegade computers is not acceptable.
Boeing might have problems on their aircraft that need resolving, but this needs to be resolved on airbus!
