The aircraft was 44 knots higher than its target landing speed, which resulted in a runway overrun. It helps reduce the chances of a stall and puts you in a better position to arrest the descent and start your climb out. Pitch for Climb The next immediate action is to arrest the descent. Many passengers were injured.

To arrest this descent, you need to generate more lift. Pitching down for airspeed magnifies the already steep descent rate. When banking, you must increase the angle of attack to keep the descent rate in check. A 60-degree bank increases stall speed by 20 knots, three knots above the best glide speed.
