The generic way is to roll the aircraft either right or left to forty five degrees of bank, all the while reducing power and operating the speed brakes/lift dump. Allow the nose fall through the horizon to about twenty degrees or so nose down, level the wings and let the airspeed to build to MMO/VMO. As yxcapt says, the roll will apply positive G and turn you off the airway. If you suspect structural damage to have occurred, you may want to carry out the descent in a high drag/low airspeed configuration. In that case in addition to speed brakes add the gear and flaps and instead of MMO/VMO descend at the maximum IAS for the configuration.. .Different aircraft types no doubt have different procedures, but with minor variations the above one is pretty general.. . . . <small>[ 16 March 2002, 05:02: Message edited by: pigboat ]</small>
