@Uplinker: thank you for sharing your experience. That sim you were on was a training event, and I tip my cap to the Captain and TRE who provided you with a training opportunity.
In one of the early threads I asked "what did they see?" meaning the two in the two seats of AF 447. You have given me an idea of what they saw, but more importantly, what they heard and what they didn't hear. I think your sim experience on a surprise UAS confirms a suspicion a lot of people had (in the early discussions) that in the back of PF's mind was the idea to not overspeed the aircraft.
But that may have been somewhere more than the back of his mind: if the aural warning just would not stop, what he heard, and what he didn't hear, might be just as critical to understanding how that event played out as it did. (Points made above about audio channel saturation will not be repeated.)
Thank you, again, for sharing your training experiences.
