I think Pitch and Power has been discussed a good deal in these threads. Intuitively, Pitch and Power must flow from a 'stable' (recoverable, manually) platform to begin with; it isn't a "recovery" technique? Certainly not without the instrumentation to support a recovery with AoA and thrust ?? It was determined that this A330 is not equipped with the most basic gauges to support handflying from upset "into" P/P ??? The 10,500 Pounds of fuel in the HS tanks is allowed only in 'normal' flight, so certification does not require minimum tools to recover from upset, which is "impossible" to enter, driving the elimination of these tools from the cockpit; a very logical, albeit deadly error. A circle of illogic that "looks logical" ??
