OUCH!!

OUCH, previous poster.

Agressive rudder input in a transport category airplane? No thank you, has been tried before (New York, nov 2001), wasn't an overwhelming succes.

Why not just push the stick forward, instead of full aft, would most probably work like a charm. Forward trim might be used as well, to make life easier.

Unreliable airspeed, alright, but there never was any unreliability in the ATTITUDE: four independant sources available (IRS 1, 2, 3 and ISIS attitude).

When ever, in a big lumbering airliner, is 15 degrees pitch up an appropriate ATTITUDE? Only after lift-off, with take-off thrust set on all engines. NEVER around FL350.
