Yes. But it might be an ending point as well, if you are doing it for the wrong reasons. Try the UAS drill from *actually* being close to stalled and see how that goes. In the 747 incident I linked above, had they done the UAS drill instead of reducing pitch because of the stick shake, I doubt they’d be around now to talk about it.

Fullwings are you a pilot?
Are you?

All I’m doing is pointing out that in a scenario which may have multiple causes and multiple recovery (or not) options, a hasty reflex action may not always work as expected. A situation with warnings, some possibly true, some possibly false is difficult to evaluate when the data you are using to make that evaluation may itself be compromised. This is just to balance the assertions that it was an “easy” recovery for the two lost 737s.
