Once in the stall yes, but if flyingchanges means leaving the controls alone from initial AP disconnect, then I'm inclined to agree with him.
Yes, my exact thought. The machine was trimmed and stable the last time there was valid information presented. I would be inclined to not do a whole lot more than keep the wings level until we had moment to ponder the situation. At that moment, it is important to not kill yourself before you have time to figure things out. I know exactly where the trim and throttles (physically) need to be on my machine to stay out of trouble long enough to get things sorted out. In this situation, time is your friend, figuring out how to make your time last is the true solution.
