Well, the way it's set up is such that if the aircraft was relatively stable prior to UAS-induced AP disconnect, then it will remain relatively stable without intervention for longer than a more conventional type, because even without AP, the flight control system is still managing trim to keep the aircraft pointing where it was last pointed and the thrust control is locked at the last setting. Strictly speaking, this then gives the crew time to get the books out if necessary and apply the correct procedures. From a piloting perspective that's got to be as simple as it gets, no?
