It works in almost all types of aircraft for a very wide set of circumstances.
Again we diverge- I think it is extremely adequate- perhaps even preferable.
BUT
Because it is not type specific, not black and white (Edit- I see you used red and green to disguise your black and white thinking...cute) and devoid of acronyms, you find it woefully inadequate.
We (most of us, that is) maintain it would have been extremely likely to have prevented the crash.
...C'est la vie.
AND, as long as we are speaking French: Les règles de l'aviation de base découragent de longues périodes de dur tirer vers le haut.
