Now, it is called "Press-On-Itis"

>>>Silk Air MI 185 also reacted to wind shear induced turbulence, either clear air or aircraft wake turbulence and induced an instantaneous pitchover into a vertical dive as a result of erroneous flight`instrument indications, as United 585 and USAir 427 had done previously, along with Egypt Air 990, Northwest 705, a COPA Airlines B737 over Tucuti, Panama, China 611, etc.

Excerpt from a january 21, 1998 letter I received from the NTSB.

"Pilots inadvertent reaction to turbulence is more of a problem than the jolt of turbulence itself."
