(a) no specific background with Airbus certification

(b) speed reduction during the final approach to stall is quite slow

(c) low thrust = descent = reduced load factor

(d) stall definitions have varied over the years

(e) always one needs to check the frozen certification standard for a particular aircraft before throwing numbers into a discussion.

(f) current heavy rules for FAA can been reviewed here. One might note the requirement to correct for load factor.
