Human Factors
On climbout at approximately 16;300 MSL; we received a TCAS RA for an approaching aircraft. We followed the fly down command bar and exceeded aircraft max speed. We lost approximately 1;200 FT; resolved the RA and returned to climb. The Captain reported seeing a twin engine aircraft pass above by approximately 400 FT. We advised ATC and continued climb.
While responding to a TCAS RA the flight crew of a B757-200 momentarily exceeded Vmo.
