Sounds good....
We discuss here a pilot who demonstrably has lost the "plot", and his partner, who evidently was easily pleased that things were acceptable, in the midst of a wild ascent.
Are you willing to suspend your strict definition of "pilot"? In the interest of entertaining a possibility? Once the climb established, and control was lost (i define upset as three seconds after loss of a/p and at first SW), it becomes difficult to retain textbook definitions, yes?
What manner of 'control' involves the stick venturing to and fro, a constant (net) NU, and Stall Warn bracketing a climb of three thousand feet in restricted airspace?
Can we agree that loss of SA may have at least potentially involved spatial disorientation?
