AirAsia Jet Climbed at Rate Beyond Design of Commercial Planes
Plane Climbed at Rate of More Than 8,000 Feet a Minute, Transport Minister Says

The Airbus Group NV. A320 jet turned left away from its assigned flight path en route from Surabaya to Singapore, climbed at more than 8,000 feet a minute—six to eight times the normal rate—descended and finally disappeared within three minutes, Mr. Jonan said, citing data from the plane’s automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, or ADS—B, system.


Note it is not from the FDR!
