Clandestino:
Whilst I appreciate your points enumerated above, I am more persuaded by PJ2's take on the UAS drill, which is that
1) UAS at cruise altitudes is a malfunction (rather than an emergency)
2) at altitude, the need to climb before trouble shooting is absent.
3) Hence, rote response of IF UAS THEN 5deg nose up does not apply to the malfunction arising in cruise.
On second thought, if you were posting a bit tongue in cheek, then a wry grin from me to you.
I fully understand EP's and required memory items. Used to teach such things, I did, and had to apply a few when things like compressor stalls and engine fires arose in flight. Memory itms are very handy at such times, to be sure.
