During recovery from an unusual nose-low attitude by reference to instruments, the standard sequence is

Choices

• increase power, then push forward to gain airspeed.

  Adding power in a dive accelerates toward Vne.

• ✓ reduce power to idle, level the wings, then smoothly raise the nose to level attitude.correct

  Nose-low recovery: (1) reduce power (to prevent over-speeding), (2) level wings (so all the lift goes vertically when you pull), (3) smoothly raise nose to level. Order matters — pulling while still in a bank tightens the dive; powering up while nose-down accelerates toward Vne.

• deploy speed brakes if available, then lower flaps.

  Speed brakes/flaps may exceed Vfe if speed is high.

• hold the controls fixed until airspeed is recognizable.

  Inaction in unusual attitude leads to loss of control.
