We have a direct parallel here with the AB crash at PGF on the other thread. As said before, it required the reduction of power once the stall had been corrected before the nose went too high, or a wing down to stop the climb. Neither necessarily practised although both part of the Boeing 'Upset' recovery brief. This sort of stall is NOT something we practice. There is insufficient elevator authority to control the power/pitch couple which is why a limit on minimum trimmed speed is placed on air test stalls. Had these sim guys followed the Boeing training they would not have crashed either.

However, my (and the main) the focus should be on how it got to the stall, plus a salutory reminder to ALL crew to revise upset recovery.
