balmy,
On the subject of upset and loss of control generally
I have seen much disorientation by all types of pilots in the sim 400 to 14000 hrs etc. The 800 with pfd option is a new configuration for kq intuitive scans take time to develop. High stress levels before that ,and it goes to rat**** quickly. Watching my own airlines upset training with familiar pilots in the sim was entertaining. watching guys new to the pfd plant aircraft after efato is also amusing in the sim. who knows it may have played apart.
It only takes one wrong or aggressive input after a sudden disconnect and upset to put the whole thing out of kilter to the point that the best you will do is pull the wings off in 10000 feet.Many things can cause an upset.
This is not about a skill thing its human factors and disorientation.Even with upset training its bloody hard to push thru and get a grip before structural limits are breached. Its not a c172 unusual attitude its potentialy a **** load of energy out of control quickly
