Neither of us explicitly said so yet, it occurs to me now that we both are indeed pushing for the same thing: Steady pitch! Without it, the safe flight path will be compromised.
You say TOGA + 15 always assures a safe pitch.
I say a safe pitch is already there, just start off with not changing it before jumping forward unnecessarily.
Both correct in its own right and complementing one another.
Following the flight-directors somewhere is definitely lethally undesirable and while they'd be removed for many cases anyway, for a good number of others they are not. When I said do nothing it for sure is not following wayward FDs. How different the outcome of AF447 could have been.
Yes, realizing the FD's are misguiding is one of the greatest challenges, naming one reason it requires skill and attention to other instruments engraved in the retinas and the whole industry seem to conclude we can go on without having that. Well, until the day...
That is when TOGA+15 becomes the safeguard of the first choice, I cannot really dispute that. It's great to see people who strive to do better.
Thanks for the inputs and reflections shared, again.
