V1rhot8 says: "What if they had a instrument problem that caused the aircraft to present bad attitude information (nose high). Next the crew adds max thrust and pushes forward on the control column to lower AOA /the perceived unusual attitude towards “level.” Then they are trying to determine whether the attitude information is wrong or if they had a pitot static issue."

In my years of flying the SAI has always been my friend, prominently in view just a few centimeters from the main instrument panel, easily incorporated in my scan. The idea of ever chasing a faulty attitude indicator into a 49 degrees dive is impractical reality.
