So he turned down Biggles' offer of the weight training courses and went instead for switching off Stab Trim as first action on a UAS or if it was immediately on take off just leave some flap down as this was what was in the ACs/ADs that Biggles was using as a coffee mat.
When Ginger read (if she did) the updated manual she would have seen, from the emergency AD.
g) Revision of Airplane Flight Manual (AFM): Certificate Limitations Within 3 days after receipt of this AD, revise the Certificate Limitations chapter of the applicable AFM to include the information in figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD. Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD – Certificate Limitations Required by AD 2018-23-51

Runaway Stabilizer
In the event of an uncommanded horizontal stabilizer trim movement, combined with any of the following potential effects or indications resulting from an erroneous Angle of Attack (AOA) input, the flight crew must comply with the Runaway Stabilizer procedure in the Operating Procedures chapter of this manual:

• Continuous or intermittent stick shaker on the affected side only.
• Minimum speed bar (red and black) on the affected side only.
• Increasing nose down control forces.
• IAS DISAGREE alert. • ALT DISAGREE alert.
• AOA DISAGREE alert (if the option is installed).
• FEEL DIFF PRESS light.
• Autopilot may disengage. • Inability to engage autopilot
"a UAS with all the bells and whistles in the cockpit on takeoff was one of the first indications of.." does not jump out at the reader.
