Just speculation on my part as well. Having never experienced settling
with power or even seen it, this looks like what settling with power
might look like when the pilot did not have sufficient power to pull out
of it.


Power won't get you out of settling with power, it'll only make it
worse. You've got to fly out of it by moving out of the downwash.


Not true. If you have enough power to retard the sink rate you can fly
forward out of the recycled air.
