Thanks for replying. Yes, we agree completely on what you wrote in your #548 and #559, except for the phrase I quoted and which I may have misunderstood. The only thing I commented on, as a 'flight mechanics' guy, was the notion that "the reason for 'set power and pitch' is to 'disregard all those messages' ". And yes, the SOP and trained response has been along for a long time, but only after a series of mishaps, as I remember it. Somewhat similar to the insight that you have to reduce AoA to unstall an airplane.
