An experienced crew would know for their a/c:--

1/ what pitch attitude they must fly AND WHAT IS NOT NORMAL
2/ what thrust setting they must fly AND WHAT IS NOT NORMAL
3/ What noise levels constitute "normal" for their cruise speed
4/ That it is simply not possible to climb 3,000 feet at heavy weights at high altitude quickly ( 7000 fpm apparently ) without Stalling the damn plane
5/ That if they entered the area at a normal speed and power settings then all they had to do was keep the pitch attitude somewhere around 2 deg nose up ( lower wouldn't matter too much, but higher does ) and the thrust around 78 to 80% N1 and they would be ok.

6/ keep the wings level and BE SMOOTH ON THE SIDESTICK.
