Some pages back I had asked abut the effect of thrust from under-slung engines. I was informed that an increase in thrust tended to pitch the aircraft's nose up.
Would I be correct, then, in assuming that reducing thrust to Flight Idle would therefore tend to lower the nose ?
This should help to get the aircraft's wings unstalled sooner. Power could be resumed gently, to reconvert a not too bad glider ( see Sully) to a powered aeroplane again.
