"They just needed the real pilot up there at that time who would have handled it but he was taking his rest break. No pilot who had a clue what he was doing would pull the nose up over 20 degrees at that altitude and not know he was going to stall. These guys were not qualified to hand fly obviously and killed everybody. Putting out the stall warning alert at 60 knots should not make a competent pilot feel all is well with that deck angle at that altitude."

Not having flown anything this big yet - would just one sensor can make the aircraft go into ground mode? Wouldn't it be airspeed+squat switch+(stuff)?
