Did not recognize they were in a stall????This is amazing. Stall recognition and recovery is learned when you first solo before receiving your private pilot license. As one transitions to other aircraft stall recognition and recovery is always practiced. This truly is a WTF moment.

Yep.

Translation into plane English:

Our software killed everybody, blame the pilots as they are not here to defend themselves.

My instructor put my plane into a power off stall first lesson I ever had. Almost caused me to quit taking flying lessons altogether, I was so scared.

Every lesson afterwards we practiced stalls, and later on he added power on stalls and those I hated even more. I have done more stalls than I care to remember, but I learned to keep flying the plane. This may sound ignorant but doesn’t Airbus have a stall warning blare?
