Capt says: Les ailes a plat !!! (exclamation signs are my addition, as it is an "imperative", an order.... to correct the "pitch up".
Sorry... "les ailes à plat", if an imperative, means "level off" and has nothing to do with pitch attitude.
Added:
See how easily translations can confuse ? "Level off" in English can still refer to pitch attitude, or altitude.
"Les ailes à plat" in French refers to roll attitude, not pitch.
