Quite sobering.
Quite fascinating, and indeed sobering, thanks. Would this be on NG sim or MAX (guessing the former)? - MAX will likely have less pitch-power couple and possibly less nose-down effect, as the thrust line is closer to the wing as the engines are mounted higher, but how much difference that will make I don't know, they are also further forward... I don't suppose the MAX differences course has any info on a difference in pitch-power couple(?) - if not, then surely we have to expect the pilots to be very reluctant to reduce thrust to avoid further nose-down based on their NG experience, especially when GPWS is going off?
