Yes Atakacs and Phoenix, you have a point there, but am still puzzled, pitch & power = performance, and "power" for a glider pilot comes from gravity, so the nose has to go down e.g. the yoke forward....
And what about "Tunnel vision" or the lack of instrument scanning....ASI malfunction alone should not cripple a pilot, worse a crew...
From the transcripts and reactions of the crew, it appears they did not panic so fear was not a crippling factor at least at the beginning..
