if he had just picked an appropriate attitude and power setting ( im not commercially trained) ...I presume its a bit over
1. 85 percent power and
2. 4-5 degrees nose up
3. checking wings level and minimal change of altitude,avoiding overcontrolling and changes to thrust... and
4. immediate (read...IMMEDIATE) call to Captain
none of this would have happened?
I also wonder whether the small thunderstorm in front obscured the Really Big One immediately behind that they ended up fyling into (my view of the relevant satellite depictions and track taken).Can this happen with weather radar? It seems they were in weather they really had no need to be in...supercooled water and all that. A right divergent track of about 20 degrees looked a lot healthier.
