seagull967 and PJ2
AF447 pilots at that point of time did not have the training and technique to deal with the situation. They put the aircraft beyond extremes of flight envelope. You cannot have training solutions to recover from that. Like the captain who barrel rolled the 747 and recovered miraculously do you need training for this how to do it? The main point of training must be that in Airbus alternate law never grab the stick and apply pitch inputs. It maintains the flight path so just look after the bank. Why does any one apply pitch input any way, to change the pitch isn't it? How can that be done without looking at the pitch? This knee jerk reaction initiated and sustained till it didn't matter anymore caused the problem. It was one off irrational act for want of procedural knowledge. You cannot keep trying it out to perfection. Just don't do it is enough.
