If you fly Airbus you will be better off by following Air bus recommended procedures. There is a procedure for over speed prevention and over speed recovery and after recovery. It recommends use of speed brakes. For Prevention


1. Keep AP/ATHR on.
2. Select a lower speed.
3. Monitor speed trend.ar
4. Speed brake as required.
For recovery
1. Keep AP and ATHR
2. Full speed brakes.
3. Monitor idle or set thrust levers to idle.
After recovery
1. speed brakes as required.
2. Select appropriate speed. Keep a margin to VMO/MMO.
if manual recover smoothly and if ATHR is off adjust manually.
