Unfortunately, it is not that simple. If the engines are still at full chat (esp. at lower altitude), they will overpower the elevator and make the aircraft do a back-flip.

This was a part of the...

By reverting to the inertial reference system (IRS).

I can understand why AB would not want to use IRS data for normal law, to define a stall, it could easily be used for alternate law.

The point is that when an Airbus goes into alternate law, it has less stall warning and alleviation devices than a 1960s Trident. That is not an advancement in safety.

I expect that when the AB...

I am surprised. I did mine on the 737 ten years ago. (But not enough retraining, I think.)

Why so late?

You have a stick that commands 'g' instead of attitude??? Who invented that idea? Anyway, surely that is not true in alternate law, it must default to attitude. Yes, no? Surely it must.

Two factors.

Firstly, this was a stalling demonstration in the sim, so the aircraft was very slow. We might have been back at .62 mach or so, or about 180 kts IAS at 39,000 ft. Remember that with...

Agreed, but then so would a stick pusher be inconvenient at that point in the flight - but that did not stop stick pushers being added to aircraft. And the last stick pusher I had was quite...

A deep stall is any stall that cannot be remedied with elevators.

Sorry, Austra, why?
Your statement as it stands is tantamount to an ad-hominem, and I don't like abuse. Please explain yourself further.

Disagree. If anything, it proves that the Airbus is too good for its own good.

On the contrary, I found the unusual attitude sim session quite illuminating. With practice, I could recover from being totally inverted to normal flight in less than 3,000 ft. Might have spilled a...

I would very much doubt it. If an aircraft is pitching 25º up at 30,000ft, and probably pulling some 'g', your first thought is not: "oh, I will get out of my seat and pull some CBs over there....."...

A big cell might have an updraft of 5,000 ft per min, but this aircraft was doing 11,000 ft per min. Now that is the max updraft from the absolute largest of supercells. Were...

We are talking commercial aviation here, not aerobatic puddle-jumpers. If you are pulling that much g that you stall with the nose low and with a high airspeed, then the stall-condition...
