How not to correct speed/height on approach.
I've also heard of a similar incident involving a Lufthansa A-310 from 1991 over Moscow where the plane did a pretty good impersonation of a roller-coaster, in a repeated climb/stall sequence that took the plane from 1500ft to 8700ft at the end of the fifth sequence when the crew finally realised their plane was out-of-trim.
I'm wondering if this may be a partial answer to what happened to Air Aisia 8501
Correction: The 1991 missed approach incident over Moscow actually involved the former East German Airline Interflug. A video of a simulation of the acrobatics performed by that flight is available on YouTube (For some reason an A-300 is used in the video).
