The Boeing 737 unreliable airspeed has you setting a power setting and attitude. This will result in a steady shallow climb and gives you time to identify the problem system. If you maintain altitude at about 5000’ (instead of allowing the steady climb) with the required 75 or 80 % N1 ser you will accelerate to 300 kts easy and into the clacker. About 45-50% N1 for S&L at 5000ft. These figures should be known by all 737 drivers......just in case.
You can't stall a 737 at 300kts- it would break up first.
