During the accident of Air Midwest Flight 5481, just after take-off from Charlotte, the nose pitched up dangerously high causing the airflow over the wing to be disrupted and the aircraft to stall. What would be the correct control input (and associated movement of the elevator) to correct the situation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a situation where the aircraft's nose is pitched up too high, leading to a stall, the correct response is to push the yoke forward to lower the nose and regain airspeed. This corresponds to moving the elevator down, which decreases the angle of attack and helps the aircraft recover from the stall.
