all of which involved the crew creating the upset and thus more unlikely to identify the need for recovery.
- well, we could argue all year about cause and effect on that statement, but whether a system or crew failure caused the upset is really immaterial in terms of "I've got 120 degrees of bank - I'll pull the stick back because I am losing height fast". I'm afraid I see the quote at the end of your post as (simply) words, and while how one got to the UA can be of use, it is what to do when you find yourself there that is important. I just cannot see how all the great psycho-analytical thinkers in the world are going to help my pilot at 120 degrees of bank, whereas some UA recovery training will. I do not give a fig for "policymakers become caught up in the narrative of miracle cures for complex problems" - since it is not a complex problem. Basic (simple) flying? It has been proven to work. When the skills are not there, it doesn't.
