Very easy to get into these positions and attitudes while teaching combat maneuvering flight. Vey common to be 50-60 degrees nose up and also rolled 120 degrees either side. Followed by 60 degrees down still inverted at 160 knots. All is well if done correctly, but the unusual attitude recovery I mentioned earlier is a great help when a 350 hour new guy makes a mistake, or just does "new guy" things. I do at least one UA demo during every CMF flight for this exact reason. Focusing on G loading, determining attitude, and how to manage aircraft and rotor energy to extract maximum performance during the recovery.
