With Spitoon's help, since most a/c have a radio altimeter which would normally start reading at 2500', recovery should be possible with care. Try to direct the a/c (if you can) to an airfield with no significant terrain issues on the approach and near to the same altitude as the surface below the aircraft to make life easier.
