something else that hasn't been passed on..In the early days of WINDSHEAR recovery it was generally established thet the 15degree pitch was the best compromise for staying airborne (ground clearance)and stall recovery..Keeping in mind that in those days(60's) the power/weight ratio was less than todays twins.Today the flight director will pitch you up 17-22 degrees easily,but just swiftly direct you to level off ,if required.
As an aside in the UA 'unusual attitude recovery programme 'of a few years ago there was a scenario of a noise abatement climb into the 22DEgree pitch area,suffering an engine failure and noting the recovery procedure.To control the a/c one had to pitch down first ,to recover speed ,thence apply Rudder to keep straight...I gather at 22Degree one lost the airspeed rapidly resulting in insufficient Rudder control(remember the A330 Testing Accident at Toulouse)..Ergo once one's in windshear maybe one should modify the attitude regardless of the Flt/Director????
