I've only flown airplanes with direct connection to the flight surfaces (cables) but I flew the A330 sim in OKC while at USAF AIS and found the transition difficult. My question is: would a stall be less noticeable on a side-controller aircraft compared with a yoke-controlled aircraft? Does the Airbus actually fly itself in a "controlled" stall? I would think that the nose would fall at the moment of stall, airspeed would increase until the stall was recovered, and if the pilots maintained back pressure then the aircraft would climb until another stall occurred.

Just trying to understand how the Airbus handles stalling.
