Post AF447
An A330 driver was telling me of the new sim exercise at high altitude with sensors gone u/s.
As per current drill, he switched off the automatics and set pitch and thrust manually.
The instructor then had him restore autothrust. A/T decided there was an overspeed, reduced thrust and things went downhill from there.
During the AF447 discussion, I was wondering when AB would flight test a high altitude stall as it could provide important information to the investigation.
With drone technology, the tests could be flown from the ground.
