Attention is on a Flydubai flight that dropped roughly 17,000 feet in a near-vertical dive. A flight instructor has recreated the manoeuvre in a simulator to illustrate what the aircraft and crew would have experienced, and Al Jazeera has featured the reconstruction. The dramatic altitude loss has prompted questions about what caused the plunge and how pilots respond in such situations.
Why now: The startling scale of the dive and the simulator reconstruction are drawing wide interest in aviation safety circles
