7) EET Upset Recoveries (Maneuver Based)

Question 1

1- What is vital or the most important consideration to Upset Recovery?

Answer 1

-Timely and correct recognition

Question 2

2- How you define an airplane upset?

Answer 2

• A flight unintentionally exceeding the normal parameters

Question 3

3- What is the definition of exceeding flight parameters?

Answer 3

• Pitch 25 degrees NOSE UP
• Pitch 10 degrees Nose Down
• Bank greater than 45 degrees
• Airspeeds Inappropriate for the condition

Question 4

4- What you do at first indication of Nose Up UPSET?

Answer 4

1- “MY AIRCRAFT”

2- Disengage Autopilot and Autothrottle

Question 5

5-Once you complete the first two steps of the profile, How you recover from a nose up upset?

Answer 5

• Apply nose down elevator.
• Apply nose down trim
  (avoid excessive trim)
• Reduce Thrust
• Roll (adjust bank angle) to obtain nose down pitch rate
• When approaching the horizon, roll to wings level
• Check airspeed and adjust thrust
• Establish Pitch Attitude

Question 6

6- How much nose down elevator you apply during a nose up upset?

Answer 6

• As much as needed to obtain a nose down pitch rate

Question 7

7- What are the PM callouts during a nose up upset?

Answer 7

• Attitude, airspeed and altitude throughout the
  recovery
• any continued deviation
• Verify all needed actions are complete during an after
  the recovery

Question 8

8- What are the consequences of excessive trim or rudder inputs?

Answer 8

• Aggravate an upset
• Loss of Control
• High Structural loads

Question 9

9- What you do at first indication of Nose Down UPSET?

Answer 9

1- “MY AIRCRAFT”

2- Disengage Autopilot and Autothrottle

Question 10

10- Once you complete the first two steps of the profile, How you recover from a nose Down upset?

Answer 10

• Recover from stall, if needed
• Roll in the Shortest direction to wings level.
  (Unload and roll , if bank angle is more than 90
  degrees)
• Apply nose up elevator
• Apply nose up trim, if needed
• Adjust Thrust and Drag. if needed

Question 11

11-What are the PM callouts during a nose Down upset?

Answer 11

• Attitude, airspeed and altitude throughout the
  recovery
• any continued deviation
• Verify all needed actions are complete during an after
  the recovery

Question 12

12- What are the common pilot errors with Nose High Upset Recovery?

Answer 12

• Failure to Disengage Autopilot and Autothrottle
• Not enough elevator authority
• Failure to reduce thrust to put the nose
  down (pitch down)
• Failure to to use stabilizer trim when necessary
• Inappropriate use of rudder

Question 13

13- What are the common pilot errors with Nose Down Upset Recovery?

Answer 13

• Failure to Disengage Autopilot and Autothrottle
• Failure to reduce AOA (unload)
• Inappropriate use of rudder
• Slow to recognize or announce excessive bank
• Rolling in the wrong direction, increasing bank
• Failure to to use stabilizer trim when necessary
• Losing situational awareness and failing to return to assign flightpath or follow ATC instruction after recovery
