To recover a ~10k fpm nose dive: disconnect AP/AT, firmly pull back on the yoke to raise elevators and pitch the nose up, reduce thrust if overspeeding, level wings, then trim. Simply pulling applies nose-up elevator force, which slows the dive a… / X  

How a flydubai 737 MAX Lost 15,000 Feet in Under Two Minutes

. . . "Every airliner has speed limits, VMO (maximum operating speed) and MMO (maximum operating Mach). For the 737 family these are roughly 340 knots and Mach 0.82, but check the flight crew manual for exact figures.

"There are two reasons a steep descent from 34,000 ft pushes an aircraft past them:

• Air gets denser as you descend. At the same true airspeed, indicated airspeed rises, so the aircraft can exceed VMO even if Mach does not increase.
• Loads grow with the square of speed. Dynamic pressure is half the air density times speed squared, so 100 knots over the limit puts far higher loads on every surface than normal flight." . . .More.

One final note: Hero plumber who stopped co-pilot from crashing flydubai plane has special message for Trump   . . . "The heroic plumber who helped to stop the frenzied flydubai co-pilot from trying to crash an Israel-bound plane had a special message for his own hero, President Trump.
