This crew executed the procedure to recover from a tailplane stall situation. This was everyone's initial first reaction the day after this incident. This message forum was rife with people discussing tailplane stalls. (Turboprops with T-tails+Icing, correct procedure: reduce power, reduce flaps, pull back)

I'm sure both pilots were knowledgeable about how and why an airplane stalls. The crew members acted together to fix a wrong scenario.
Tragic.
