Airbus A320 High Altitude Full Stall and Upset Recovery (UPRT)

Following the crash of Air Asia flight 8501 and Air France 447 it became mandatory as part of Airbus training to perform high altitude stall recoveries. The Air Asia crash prompted high altitude upset recovery and prevention training as seen in this video. Here, the flight augmentation computers are switched off to enable this maneuver.

I think I wouldn't hold it against any professional pilot if "oh shit" was their reaction to this situation irl. Seems about right and adequate

<yaws AND rolls 360 degrees> "i think we're stalling"

[NickelPlate_Triple]

Imagine hearing a bunch of alarms followed by “shit captain, shit” over the intercom

[sobrany]

"i think its stalling" sent me lmao

[theglitchygamer]

I really wish I had a flight simulator like this nice

[rayharkins]

That was a wild ride. Thank god for sims.

I've had this experience before, was flying at 14, 000 feet and just decided to have some fun, far away from other buildings and civilisation just to be on the safe side. Easy recovery, no dramas or wet pants like the men here, and it only costed me $2.50 at Timezone, highly recommend.

Recovery? The only recovery that would be possible would it be the black box

18, 000 fpm ROD. Not bad. What was the max indicated speed reached during this demo please, anyone?

We hear about these crashes- Asia flight 8501 and Air France 447-, but we never hear of near crashes or stalls that happen but planes recover from. Is there a system in place where aircraft that experience and recover from stalls must report them? I'm not a pilot so I don't know.

Did you fly with "Alternate Law" or "Direct Law" when you did this recovery?

[surreyboy]

Do it at night as well please. With no visual reference.

In your experience, do some lazy pilot who do not fully understand servo regulated control and safety devices, are they afraid of them and just fly like ostriches? In my field, we have similar very dangerous machines, and some safety device which are quite excellent, but not used because they can cause seemingly random alarm (which are not actually random at all, just misuderstood). I find my colleagues fear them because they don't fully understand the conditions which will cause the computer to act. I wondered this about the Indo and Ethiopian X crash. When I explain the fine details of why sometimes to turn off and other times to turn on, some colleague realize how much safer they can be and become evangalists, others are old dogs who are afraid of misunderstood thunder. I believe every problem in high tech professions is due to a lack of training, and a high odds situation where multiple events coincide to create catastrophe, it's a series of events. Does this paradigm exist in pilot community also? Pilots seem to be more pro active in their contiuing education. How is it possible to reach people like this who refuse change or to learn?

The moment you realize: it’s a full motion simulator💀💀💀

[darrens.]

This channel would have better credibility had you mentioned in the headline or detail of the description, that this was a flight simulator.

[fostexfan]

Does anyone know if flight 447 parameters have been simulated to show recovery from their stall? At several heights e.g 20, 000 ft 10, 000ft and 4, 800 ft? What would have been the minimum height that this particular flight could have been recovered?

[RedroEdits]

0:23 "i think were stalling" *optional*

[Jefferson-us]

Training to recover from a deep stall must factor in the massive stress of a real situation, not a simulator

Wait what? They stalled…and 5 seconds later they started overspeeding?
