engfireleft and Zorin_75, thanks for your answers:
Attitude + Power = Performance

It is basic stuff that sometimes tends to get obscured in all the magic. It is also the foundation under which the "Unreliable Speed Indication" drill and checklist were written.
1. Check the pitch attitude and thrust.
2. If pitch attitude or thrust is not normal for phase of flight:
Autopilot disengage switch . . . . . . . . . . .Push
Autothrottle disconnect switch . . . . .. . . .Push
F/D switches (both) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OFF
Establish normal pitch attitude and thrust setting for phase of flight.
Now, for those questioning the Airbus MMI, how is the information different on the 'bus panel? Attitude and engines N1 are available as well, so what is this nonsense about the A330 MMI having prevented the pilot(s) from correctly reacting to UAS condition?
