PJ2 - whatever you think of the "5 deg nose-up" it would not have killed all. The a/c would have flown reasonably happily while the UAS drill was actioned. Any stall warning that might have been thus induced could have been actioned as normal.

What the focus needs to be (apart from stall recovery training, of course) is why the pitch went from 0 deg to 11deg.

- this is not in fact the case. He had roll available. A perfectly 'practical' way to get the nose down and should be taught during 'unusual attitudes'.
