>There are some comments out there on the web I've seen that point to there being some issues at slow speeds and high AoA.
1)This is precisely how you induce the accelerated stall I mentioned. Slow down, nose up till you get to the bottom of the energy curve, then accelerate while continuing to nose up. Hold this straight back, or bank to one side, and you stall. It's one of the most basic training procedures there is, although maybe not for 737s.
2) If accelerating causes nose up on it's own (without pulling on the stick) while near the bottom of the energy curve, you could have a run away condition.
So are you saying a run-away condition can still be "stable" in aeronautical engineering terms?
Because I'm pretty sure that's wrong. You might be studying the wrong books re: the technical language.
