If your annoyed with my post...
I sincerely hope your not sitting in the left hand seat of anything bigger then a 152. The issues here are absolutely that simplistic. The type specific issues were well documented and current. For a professional pilot to totally ignore not only training and procedure but common sense is beyond explanation. There are no complex holes in the swiss cheese here...simply a known malfunction with a safe, tested procedure that should be second nature to a commercial pilot... stabilize attitude and thrust appropriately and fly the plane while the PM sorts the issues out over time.
Exactly what dozens off other crews did with exactly the same issue.
