No - the failure to first monitor the aircraft's behaviour *prior* to making control inputs was the problem. The correct course of action was to wait and be prepared to take the controls - but first *monitor* the change in the situation, note that airspeed was no longer available and call for the UAS checklist.
Until that was done there was absolutely no reason to start manipulating the stick.
