Is there a tie-in, the name 'Captain Crunch' and all this talk of CFIT?!!

Quote "It doesn't know the whole flying picture."

Had to laugh when I read the above since the all seeing, all knowing pilot in command 'knew the whole picture' but was needing a high G pull up! Surely he would see this coming and have acted accordingly if he was that switched on....?!! An old instructor once taught me that he used all of his years of experience and cunning to stay well away from those situations that required him to actually use it!

A later poster hit the nail on the head when he said that the use of full back stick and very fast application of 2.5g was a winner from Airbus. I agree. If you haven't seen it, you should.
