I was disappointed back in AF447 that an A330 was not flown through the initial zoom and stall profile, perhaps with spin chute.

The data could have been provided to the sim manufacturers so the crews would have an opportunity to explore high altitude stalls and recovery with valid data. This crew, their passengers and their families might have benefited.

There is talk that no crew should ever get near that edge of the envelope, but convective activity can put any crew in a place they never intended to be.

Until the data is available, the ITCZ crapshoot will continue.
