> with a maximum indicated air speed of 358kt (662km/h), or Mach 0.9, recorded What? 358 knots is much closer to mach 0.5 in air. 358 meters/second is close... 662 mph is close.

Indicated airspeed is based on the force of the oncoming air, and decreases as air gets less dense. There's some altitude where 358kt indicated is Mach 0.9. Edit: before I get more replies attempting to lecture me on how wrong I am, please look up the difference between true airspeed (how fast the air is moving past the airplane) and indicated airspeed (a measurement derived from the difference between static and dyn…

The reference to the 365KIAS rating later in the article provides only a clue IMO.
I do not understand, it took only one input to put it in a dive with auto pilot engaged but two inputs to cancel auto pilot to get it out of the dive?

Since the two conflicted the computer decided on its own what to do, and didn't listen to either of them.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for the clarification. Is it normal to refer to kts with the assumption this is related to pressure on the airframe and not actual airspeed? The reference to the 365KIAS rating later in the article provides only a clue IMO.
If I saw a raw airspeed without and qualifier, I'd probably assume it meant indicated speed. But I fly small planes where that's the only airspeed available. If you want true airspeed, you have to take what's indicated and convert manually.
"seven dented ceiling panels, 50 damaged in-flight entertainment sockets" The article doesn't state it, but that's because the passengers, like the co-pilot, fell towards the ceiling of the airplane during this episode. Apparently, the headphone cables are stronger than those sockets.
