Conversely, any nose low, high bank scenario I vaguely recall, required unloading prior to recovery, with rapid speed onset and altitude loss- no time close to the ground in TOGA thrust.
The point I'm trying to make, if bank was involved even if within the envelope, it would certainly have rapidly complicated disorentation in a Go Around.
In Jet Upset Recovery, Airbus never saw the need for training in recovery from a messed up GA. It never thought it possible. If this was spatial disorientation, the solution will be simple, mandatory CPIP upgrade of all Airbus aircraft to include the reinstatement of Flight Diretors on go around.
