+.87 in the average, but that it was not agressive enough
It would have been sufficient, had it not been terminated too early. Why the PF reverted to pulling the nose up remains the biggest mystery of all for me. The report mentions the return of the flight director, the fixation on overspeed, training exercises at low altitude ...

P.S. What strikes me in the various 'level bust' incidents, and in the pitchdown of QF72, that pilots react instantly to an overspeed situation, but are remarkably relaxed when the airplane climbs 3000 ft towards its stall ceiling.
