Default Overspeed Recovery question

Level the wings and pull. DO NOT OPEN spoilers! The spoilers will be sucked open and now you are creating more bending moments on the wing. Lowering gear usually requires switching hands on the stick, probably not a good idea. Also mindful actions can keep you from exceeding VNE. Other than non-approved aerobatics, and flight into IMC a common reason to get into a VNE exceed would be a spin that has turned into a "death spiral. Go get some training in a 2-32, those will easily go from spin to spiral.

Stay safe
