maybe- but of course like everything other its just a shot in the dark, the pilot was still believing in the protection systems and an not stallable aircraft and tried a recovery similar to a wind shear on an airbus- full upstick and toga ,maybe truly believing he is in a massive downdraft and not a stall.

why he initially climbed and tried not not keep power and pitch constant when he lost the indications will be a mysterium.

on a other hand we have to consider that discussing it is something other than finding itself in a big thunderstorm, when one system after another quits, being in live danger. maybe also he just quit mentally and his inputs were instinctive without thinking. who knows.

best regards
