Accident: Virgin Australia AT72 near Sydney on Feb 20th 2014, control disagreement causing excessive G-forces injures cabin crew

Maintenance subsequently determined from the onboard equipment that there had been no overspeed event, however, the aircraft had pulled +3.34G
exceeding the permitted limit.

The ATSB reported that no evidence of a bird strike was found, the aircraft manufacturer however determined that the damage to the tailplane had been the result of the occurrence on Feb 20th.
On this basis the ATSB included the Feb 25th event into the investigation into the Feb 20th 2014 event.
