This protection works in so called normal law. AF 447 lost important sensors on bad weather conditions. Without sensors data input, no protection output. See final report: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447
@@MarkBeaker So no stall protection with an idiot at the controls. Just stall protection as part of the auto pilot features which was lost when the auto pilot switched off
@@fostexfan160 no. This has nothing to do with the autopilot. The autopilot only disconnected because it has no speed reference due to the blocked pitot tubes. Because of no speed reference this forced the aircraft to to alternate law where basically the flight control computers (not same as autopilot) doesn’t have enough input to fly safely so it hands more control to the pilots. The pilot was then the idiot who stalled and crashed the plane. If the autopilot has just disconnected but all speed reference was available the aircraft wouldn’t have stalled
@@tomstravels520 Thanks....I've read a lot more on this and now understand what you say. It's quite astonishing how that pilot reacted. From what I understand he put the aircraft into a deep stall from which there is no recovery. Tail and wings stalled ....the controls having no effect on control of the plane....horrific
@@fostexfan160 I keep reading it claimed that AF 447 was in a deep stall (tail plane stalled, as well). That typically only affects T-tailed aircraft, and there is no evidence that flight 447 was in such a deep stall, anyway. It was severely stalled but technically recoverable through conventional means to reduce AoA.
clear video
👍
so why didn't this work on Flight 447? Or is it a development as a result of that flight?

Annoying music!
