Salute!

ya got it right, Volume. Try to “start over”, if you can. With the current flight control and nav gear systems, that is a challenging task. My systems engineering background and thousands of fighter hours confirm that approach.

With all respect to Edmond, in very rare cases a series of failures and design features result in a condition that all the engineers and test pilots never envisioned. So the “pitch and power” procedure might not work because the damned jack screw for the stab has failed or is stuck.

My heart goes out to the crew, that prolly had to deal with problems they had not been trained for, or maybe no procedure published because the combo of mals couldn’t happen, huh?
