AZR, Machinbird;
At last for Mr Rosay, it seems clear that there was no need to set 5°/CLB.
Yep! But will everyone remember that, and do the right thing? The "startle factor" seems to have an ability to cause a "memory crash" and a strange reversion to the "pull up" as the BEA noted in the Tarom incident.
The
F-GLZU incident on 22 July 2011 was even stranger ... not only did the PNF not remember his NU on the SS, but neither pilot noticed the FD bars on the PFD, nor the AH, the ALT and +5700 fpm VS until after going through FL364. Then busting FL380 before getting things sorted.
As Rosay has said, and
PJ2 has been saying here for 3 years, the "do nothing" really means "recover" from any initial A/P hand-off condition and set CRZ pitch and power.
