Don't know if the report is in the public domain. But I do know that the investigation team produced profiles for the escape maneuvre which included 'average' airline wide profiles for comparison which didn't clear the terrain.
I don't understand why you gentlemen think you do not need AOA indicators.

Of course you cannot fly as accurately by just triggering the stick shaker as you could fly with an actual AOA indicator directly in front of you, but if you had an AOA indicator and used it, your performance should not be far different than the EFCS max AOA performance.

In the situation just mentioned by CONF iture, there would be unreasonable AOA values staring you in the face as you decelerated. You would have to be asleep to miss it.
