Don't try that method in places like Colorado, Utah, California, Alaska, Hawaii, portions of: China, Tibet, India, Pakistan, Chile, Peru, Chile, western Canada, Kyrgyzstan, France, Georgia, Switzerland, Italy, Indonesia, Japan, Greenland, Guatemala, etc.
Especially if there is a static sensor problem inhibiting throttles and the pilots are wide awake to see the cumulogranite approaching at 12 o'clock.
