The Pitot tube iced up which resulted in auto pilot putting the plane into a dive to regain airspeed. The pilot can feel that he has speed and shuts off the auto pilot, then pulls back on the yoke to slow the plane and stalls the plane sending it into a flat spin from which there is no recovery with limited gauges.

Air France Flight 447 crashed on June 1, 2009, primarily due to a combination of pilot errors and technical failures. The aircraft encountered severe turbulence over the Atlantic Ocean, leading to the icing of its pitot tubes, which caused inconsistent airspeed readings. The flight crew, facing a loss of reliable data, failed to maintain control of the aircraft, ultimately leading to a stall and crash into the ocean. Investigations highlighted shortcomings in pilot training and communication during high-stress situations.
