It wasn't till several of our company aircraft entered moderate stalls at high altitude that that they trained us in the proper recovery.I was shocked at the altitude loss and pitch attitude required for recovery.
And still, few airlines teach this in the sim.
So you were trained for stall recovery in the sim? Who put your aircraft into the stalls required, and recovered from them, to provide the data for the sim?

Is this not the basis for Airbus reluctance to do sims on real stalls, that they do not have the data required to make the training meaningful/realistic and that they prefer to train to avoid the stalls in the first place.

Did the pilot-engineered stall on AF447 provide any useful data for an Airbus sim? The problem possibly being that there was no recovery and that at some stage a "recovery" might have "torn the wings off" anyway?
