Consider. Having assessed the situation, choose the action according to that situation; not a rigorous follow SOPs / training without question.
A careful reading of my posts would indicate that the method I am preaching
presupposes that the crew is unsure of the nature of the situation, and as such does not have a default SOP to follow. Certainly, if the crew has correctly identified the situation and malfunction, they most certainly should resort to the appropriate procedure. These accident crews did not. In absence of any other guidance, they flailed around until they lost control of the aircraft. Hence the mantra: When faced with an undesired aircraft state, unknown malfunction, or loss of situational awareness...., well you should know the drill by now.
