I am really mystified here. What I'm hearing is that you punch a button that brings on sudden power that results in tricky pitch changes at low altitude.

So how did people do it in a 737-200 in the 1960s? I never remember reading about GA screw-ups until lately. Even the ones with a happy ending must be awful for the passengers.

I mean, what do you do? Level off, gear up, gradually put on power and reduce flaps - how hard can it be??
