Minorite invisible,
Thanks for that. So my deduction remains: if the PF initially concluded (immediately following AP/AT disengagement) that his main problem (of many) at the time was that he was experiencing an unreliable airspeed situation, the fact that he increased power and raised the nose was exactly the correct response. Non ?
How the aircraft ended up zooming to FL 380 and high AoA is another story.
