Here's another few then...

Airbuses and stalling.

As I understand it, in normal operation FBW Airbus aircraft are designed to prevent a stall from occurring. But what if it does? So firstly, how does an FBW Airbus (A320 type) announce that it is stalled? Secondly, how does it recover from a stall? Does it do this by itself ie. recognise that it is stalled and reduce the AoA, change the position of the elevator trim if inappropriate, apply thrust etc. or does it throw up its hands, change the active flight law (upgrade/downgrade) and let the pilots deal with the problem? Lastly, how often is this manoeuvre practiced?
