@BARKINGMAD:

No probs.

I don't want to bang on too much about this - but AoA gauges were also discussed, ad infinitum, on the Tech Log threads. I'd suggest looking there.

@SSD:

Agreed - one of the more thought-provoking aspects of the Tech Log discussion was that the PF in this case seemed to be suffering a startle response so profound that he immediately started pulling up before even trying to assess the situation, thus making said assessment harder for both himself and his colleague. Given that they were unable to diagnose a stall with the warning going off, ADI indicating a nose-up trend and a rapidly unwinding altimeter - would an AoA gauge have improved things or merely heaped more data on them when they were struggling to process what they had?
