I actually asked "Are you saying you can stall an Airbus in normal law?" which is a different issue, and I did post "I am not claiming your aircraft magically can't stall". I do not recognise your supposed quote "not just got on with it (as you suggest)" by the way.

Anyway - moving on - for 3holelover (post #34) - there you have it. The answer from someone who says he/she is an AB multi-type TRE. I think we can distill the opinion there that it is taught that (as I understood) it is impossible for a pilot to stall an Airbus in normal law, but obviously as with any flying machine, dynamic un-commanded events can take a serviceable AB into a stalled situation from which it will self-recover given sufficient margins. The question of how you disabuse the 'absorbent' pilot of this instinct when all is not well has not been answered and indeed may well be pivotal. If this belief persists the fault lies fully with the training system, as I have said for many years.
