Somatogravic illusion of climb while pitched down

SLFstu's link to Performing Safe Goarounds:
http://www.boeing.com/commercial/aer...ERO_2014q3.pdf

includes a short basic tutorial on instrument scan.

Interestingly it comments that acceleration while pitched down creates the illusion of a climb

The article describes a number of pitch down incidents where the crew recovered at low altitude and one that did not recover in time.
