The reason that I adopted this subconsciously was to avoid the overspeed warning from the erratic block pitot tube during further climb, which gave me the sense of a correct completion of the exercise because the overspeed warning never occurred.
Hi Lantirn, I believe the overspeed warning in the sim during climb with a totally blocked pitot (that's with both the pitot tube and the drain hole blocked by ice) has produced negative training value. Airbus frowns upon this sort of "training" as it is so unlikely to happen. See
Adverse effects of Unrealistic simulator scenarios
In real life - you should have time to continue the climb with
5° pitch and the thrust set in CLB (as Vilas says) until you get figures from the QRH or you were already in level flight when the problem occurred (as in AF447) then all you had to do was maintain the cruise pitch and cruise power.
