Well, neither one has much to do with a vertical speed limit.

A dive which goes over Vne?

Well, yes, flight testing for instance. VNE is 10% below a tested
dive speed. Alos, as I posted before, some airplanes had an emergency
dive speed. Vd. I'd have to look it up to see, though. In any case,
it's not a legal limit, it;'s a design limitation.


Nope. It's legal from Far 91.7:

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, no person may
operate a civil aircraft without complying with the operating
limitations specified in the approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight
Manual, markings, and placards, or as otherwise prescribed by the
certificating authority of the country of registry.

OK, fair enough.
