The Nosedive Challenge

1

Something not for the faint-hearted.

For my second challenge, I would like you to fly to cruising altitude and nosedive. No need to save your aircraft here. Post your lowest vertical speed clocked (I mean, -30,000fpm or a faster rate of descent), and a screenshot if you please.

I managed -80,400fpm. Anyone can beat that?

Please note:
This challenge does not apply for real pilots.
Do NOT do this in real life. Even with adult supervision.
If you clock more than -40,000fpm, you should NEVER fly a real plane.
Space shuttles and fighters are not counted.
Extra points for those who can save their flight without experiencing 10G of g-force.
You can consult SilkAir if you wish.
Do NOT attempt this on Live. Doing so may result in serious consequences.

Good luck!

Good for you the 550 kts rule applies to GS and not IAS ;)

Those red lines are stall warnings, you need to go faster.

I took off from L35 and climbed to 41,000 (very fast), then I levelled off and let my speed rise a bit and then slammed the plane down.

Tried again with the A321 from FL410:

A321
I crashed so fast that the game glitched when I impacted. It didn’t crash but it made my jet up into the air

Look at my screenshot from the glitch:
