FAA unveils pilot training to avoid stalling airliners
Weener cited four fatal crashes in the last two decades where pilots continued to pull up on their controls too much until the aircraft crashed, rather than leveling off to regain power and speed. Those crashes were Colgan, Air France 447 in June 2009, Pinnacle Airlines 3701 in October 2004 and USAir 427 in September 1994. In the Air France and Pinnacle crashes, the planes plummeted several minutes from tens of thousands of feet in the middle of flights, rather than near the landing.
I would have added the Birgenair 757 to that list....
