Rosaviatsia reported that the investigation revealed the flap limit speed had been exceeded during the attempted stall recovery. The cause of the false speed indication was not mentioned however.
Radar data show the aircraft had been holding at 200 and 230 knots (upwind and downwind) over ground, during the recovery (downwind) the speed increased to above 280 knots over ground while the aircraft descended to FL064. The aircraft subsequently climbed to about FL071 before settling briefly at FL070 at about 230 knots over ground. The aircraft then descended and positioned for the approach following the event.
