@VNAV_PATH:

I think the primary discrepancy between the (valid) points made in the Air Caraibes memo and what we later learned of AF447 via the CVR is that in the case of AF447, neither pilot makes any reference (or indeed any reaction) to the Stall Warning even though it sounds continuously for around a minute. In fact, there's no evidence to suggest that the crew attempted to apply any known procedure at all.

@galaxy flier:

That figure came from this report on YR-LCA - an A300 on approach to Orly airport in 1994:

YR-LCA

(Use your browser's "Find" to look for the relevant section with '80%')

I believe the conclusions and recommendations included more thorough explanation via training of how inappropriate reactions can occur and for pilots to take extra care in guarding against them.
