Recoveries Flashcards
What is the definition for inverted flight?
Any pitch or bank angle exceeding 90°
When recovering the aircraft from inverted flight, you will need to ______ to an upright level flight attitude with constant airspeed.
Perform a coordinated roll towards the most sky
If you encounter low airspeed during the roll portion of the inverted flight recovery _____.
Allow the nose to fall
When the aircraft is in a nose-low attitude, it will gain airspeed while decreasing altitude. What do you want to do in this situation?
Recover the aircraft to a level flight path as soon as possible
What is the maximum operating airspeed limitation, VMO?
316 KIAS
If the aircraft appears to be in an excessive nose-low attitude, there is a potential for excessive altitude loss. To avoid this loss of altitude ______.
Place the PCL in the IDLE position and extend the speed brake as necessary
To recover from a nose-high attitude you must adjust the power to ______ and initiate a coordinated roll towards the ______ horizon while applying ______ stick pressure.
MAX; nearest; back
Depending on the initial airspeed and attitude of the aircraft at the beginning of the nose-high recovery, a wings-level inverted attitude may be attained. What should you do if this occurs?
Roll to an upright attitude as the nose approaches the horizon.
Under what conditions should you perform an out-of-control flight recovery?
Disorienting nose-high situations and/or aircraft not responding normally
When recovering the aircraft from inverted flight, you will need to perform a coordinated roll in the shortest direction ______ to an upright level flight attitude with constant airspeed.
Towards the most sky
True or false: If you encounter low airspeed during the roll portion of an inverted flight recovery, you should not prevent the nose from falling.
True
The aircraft is in an unintentional nose-low attitude gaining airspeed while decreasing altitude. Once you recognize this scenario you will want to ______.
Recover the aircraft to a level flight attitude as soon as possible
What is the proper procedure when initiating a nose-high recovery with adequate airspeed?
Adjust power to MAX, initiate a coordinated roll towards the nearest horizon and apply back stick pressure.
True or false: Unless the proper recovery procedures are initiated during a nose-high recovery, the aircraft may enter an aggravated stall, which can result in a spin.
True
Under what conditions should you perform an out-of-control flight recovery?
Disorienting nose-high situations and/or aircraft not responding normally
