thanks for answering

I am a bizjet guy, EASA/FAA. While in cruise, I usually see a GS range of 380/620KT.

In the case of AF447, while stalling for 3 minutes, would you agree that their GS was much below that range?
Would you agree that a quick look at the OFP will give the expected and accurate GS to be compared with?

The crew checked engine parameters but I never read in the report that GS was mentioned or discussed.
I am just wondering if checking / discussing / comparing GS could have reversed this tragic fate, i.e. could have made someone finally push the stick (again, Airbus design, sorry to insist...).
