Q

What is the minimum power setting for TP stalls?

A

80%

25
Q

When do you recover for TP stalls?

A

Upon definite increase in buffet, or aural, HUD, and MFD stall warnings, however briefed by IP

26
Q

What are the three steps for TP stalls?

A
  1. Establish landing configuration
  2. Set power
  3. Fly simulated final turn before inducing the error
27
Q

When is recovery complete for TP stalls?

A
  1. Descent has stopped
  2. Positive, controlled climb (Alt and VVI increasing)
  3. Sufficient airspeed for continued flight
28
Q

For nose high recoveries, what is the primary consideration for power increases?

A

Smoothly to prevent compressor stalls and flameouts

29
Q

For nose-low recoveries, what airspeed range gives you minimum turn radius?

A

250 - 400 knots (approx. corner velocity)

30
Q

For nose-low recoveries, what amount of backstick is required?

A

Pull to moderate buffet or desired recovery G (4 to 5Gs normally)

31
Q

How should airspeed be maintained on a nose-low recovery?

A

Adjust power and speed brakes as required to maintain airspeed between 250 and 400 knots
