Stall Recovery
Applicable to: ALL
As soon as any stall indication (could be aural warning, buffet...) is recognized, apply the immediate actions:
NOSE DOWN PITCH CONTROL APPLY
This will reduce angle of attack
Note:
In case of lack of pitch down authority, reducing thrust may be necessary.
BANK WINGS*LEVEL
When out of stall (no longer stall indications) :
THRUST INCREASE*SMOOTHLY*AS*NEEDED
Note:
In case of one engine inoperative, progressively compensate the thrust asymmetry with rudder.
SPEEDBRAKES CHECK*RETRACTED
FLIGHT PATH RECOVER*SMOOTHLY
If in clean configuration and below 20*000*ft:
FLAP 1 SELECT
Note:
If a risk of ground contact exists, once clearly out of stall (no longer stall indications), establish smoothly a positive climb gradient.
My bold, this is directly from the A320 QRH. Clearly they considered terrain impact.
Take it up with the manufacturer blind pew... Or the senior airbus guy
Obviously they should talk to you!
But any crew who allows their aircraft to stall, had better follow the manufacturer procedure or they will be hung, quartered and drawn.
TOO small may be overstated, but there certainly isn't any slack in modern aircraft design. And insufficient pitch authority is not unheard of unfortunately.
