Have a look at NWAA flight 1712, an A320-210 that had an uncommanded excursion at FL370 on 1996-03-16. That flight had no pax aboard, so had a low profile, but airworthiness was questioned. LeadSongDog ( talk) 14:24, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Added some text referencing the final ATSB as a placeholder - can someone fix it up Donated ( talk) 03:52, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
At 12:42:27 the aircraft made a sudden uncommanded pitch down manoeuvre, recording −0.8 g,[note 1] reaching 8.4 degrees pitch down and rapidly descending 650 feet (200 m) in about 20 seconds before the pilots were able to return the aircraft to the assigned cruise flight level.
The descend of 200 m in 20 s can't be true (10 m/s) as -0.8 g is more than free falling. When the plane would free fall with 0.0 g for the passengers in the cabin, that means it is accelerated with 10 m/s2 downwards. s = 1/2*a*t2 meaning a 20 s free fall will result in a loss of height of 0.5 * 10 m/s2 * (20s)2 = 2000 m. With -0.8 g the downward acceleration is even more and in theory with I would expect rather a descend of 3600 m. -- Gunnar ( talk) 17:19, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

I came here after watching this documentary Video with first hand accounts which seems to be a good source to enhance the information in this article. /info/en/?search=Sunday_Night_(Australian_TV_program)

The "analysis" section here says that altitude data was erroneously re-labelled as AOA data. However, in the video, they say that the two items were swapped: that the AOA became altitude and altitude became AOA. Now that in fact makes it a completely different problem; in the sense that a scenario that can explain a single swap is not going to be enough to explain a double swap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E448:D401:1448:F499:2976:50A0 ( talk) 03:35, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
