I am confused.
W.i.t.h. Is nose forward?
Surely they mean release the back pressure, and un stall.
Or: Nose down and regain positive control,
or; pitch to level flight attitude and apply standard cruise epr/rpm/power.
Me thinks a lot of comments come from the armchair experts who have not yet soloed even in a pa 18.
The accident was tragic but something is missing in the translation.
Here is hoping that a lesson has been learnt so that it will not happen again in that manner.
