One of the first things you should do if you have a un-commanded severe pitch up that obviously cannot be retrieved by forward stick, is to roll hard in one direction or the other which causes the nose to fall all the while unloading or maintaining steady forward pressure on the stick. In other words recovery from an unusual attitude. You have to be real quick of course. As the nose reaches the horizon after the roll. You reverse the direction of roll to get back to wings level. After that you take your chances if it pitches up again.
This type of recovery applies to any aeroplane. In fact, under the sub-heading of Upset recovery -Nose high, Wings level, the Boeing 737 Flight Crew Training Manual covers this in the chapter of UA recoveries by stating: Quote:
"If normal pitch control inputs do not stop an increasing pitch rate, rolling the airplane to a bank angle that starts the nose down should work. Bank angles of about 45 degrees, up to a maximum of 60 degrees, could be needed. Unloading the wing by maintaining continuous nose-down elevator pressure keeps the wing angle of attack as low as possible, making the normal roll controls as effective as possible.
With airspeed as low as stick shaker onset, normal roll controls - up to full deflection of ailerons and spoilers - may be used. The rolling maneuver changes the pitch rate into a turning maneuver, allowing the pitch to decrease. Finally, if normal pitch control then roll control is ineffective, careful rudder input into the direction of the desired roll may be required to induce a rolling maneuver for recovery. Only a small amount of rudder is needed.
Too much rudder applied too quickly or held too long may result in loss of lateral and directional control. Because of the low energy condition, pilots should exercise caution when applying the rudder. The reduced pitch attitude allows airspeed to increase, thereby improving elevator and aileron control effectiveness.
After the pitch attitude and airspeed returned to the desired range, the pilot can reduce the angle of bank with normal lateral light controls and return the airplane to normal flight"

This detailed description of how to recover from a sudden nose high attitude, characteristic of several sky diver aircraft accidents in the past, is probably not be taught during pilot dual instruction on these type of operations. In view of the nature of sky diving operations, it should be. After all, unusual attitude recovery training should be part of PPL training; although one suspects many flying instructors are unsure how to teach the manoeuvre. It does not have to be an aerobatic aircraft for this type of training.
