I think I asked about the meds the pilot may have been using, and I see that he was taking a blood pressure medicine (though FAA approved). Perhaps more study of medicines used by pilots is in order.
Sadly too , there is simulator training which makes a pilot change whatever he has learned in small planes...that is to push forward on the stick to break a stall...sacrificing altitude to regain lift. The modern method is to hold altitude at all costs, while waiting for engine power to help overcome the stalled condition .
To the man who doesn't think that autopilot equipped planes without autothrottles are not death traps...you are right of course. but it does take a pilot who knows what he is doing AND ACTUALLY DOES IT.
