Constant Stall Horn
Air noise as the airspeed increases
Adrenaline is pumping
Your blood is coursing through your veins... into your eardrums

CA directs FO “Stab Trim Cutout Switches to Cutout”
PM says “What! I can’t here you. Say again!”

That F**king Horn

CA “I SAID, STAB TRIM SWITCHES TO CUTOUT”
FO “STAB TRIM SWITCHES CONFIRM”
CA “YES, AFFIRMATIVE!”
FO “BOTH?”
CA “YES! DO IT!”

You struggle as you pull
You need both Hands
Airspeed is increasingly and so is the forces on the stabilizer

OMG the throttles are still at firewall
CA “Pull the Theottle back!”
FO “WHAT! I can’t hear you.”
