But what kind of pilot maintains a climbing attitude with the airspeed unwinding like a big fast unwinding thing? Even if he/she was too busy/stressed to notice the lack of engine winding-up sounds or to take in the lack of increased engine rpm on the gauges during his scan SURELY any "emergency climb" manoeuver involves scanning the ASI to hold the aeroplane at best climbing speed (or at least note that they hadn't pulled it too hard)?
Is it really true that a current ATPL could just hit the TOGA and assume it was safe to pull to max alpha or sommink? I really struggle with that!
