If you see your low speed tape shoot upwards which then results in the plane nosing over, hit two of the three.
This procedure was in response to a German A321 having something like this occur. Not sure when.

Do any professional pilots remember how investigations work? Trained safety inspectors will reconstruct the profile using all available data: as it relates to the accident aircraft. Yes, that will take time.
To those trying to find the cause this accident based on CNN reports, you're embarrising yourselves. The only thing for certain is CNN's Mariano Castillo, Laura Akhoun, Stephanie Halasz, Lindsay Isaac, Josh Levs and Richard Greene are as clueless about aviation today as they were yesterday. Please guys, don't let your professional credibility and integrity be biased by the cable news Infotainment machine.

OEB is pretty clear on what to do.
