ironbutt57,

For comparison to your experience, here is what PJ2 reported based on his SIM experience. It is in Post #165, Tech Log.

Quote by PJ2: In the sim exercises, for recovery the SS was held full nose-down from the beginning of the stall warning at about FL360 until the wing was unstalled at about FL250, about 40 seconds total time, with a maximum achievable ND pitch of about -12 deg with an average of -10deg. The thrust levers were in the CLB detent and the THS was initially at 13.6deg and was returning to the normal cruise setting.

With the FPV symbol available, the FPA could be observed just above initially at -40deg, (pitch -10deg).

It began to move, initially very slowly up, about 15 seconds after full ND SS;

- at 29 seconds after full ND SS, the FPA had moved from -40deg, (pitch at -11) to -25deg, (same pitch);

- in the next 5 seconds it moved from -25 to -15, (FL257);

- at 38 seconds after full ND SS the FPA was -9deg, (pitch -5deg) with the wing unstalled and the CAS at 255kts.
