Spin

Question 1

LOSS OF CONTROL/SPINNING (2W)

Answer 1

1. THROTTLE - IDLE
2. CONTROLS - CENTRALISE
3. RECOVER FROM DIVE
   If a spin is positively identified:
4. THROTTLE - CONFIRM IDLE
5. TURN NEEDLE - IDENTIFY DIRECTION OF SPIN
6. RUDDER - APPLY FULL OPPOSITE TO TURN NEEDLE
7. CONTROL COLUMN - MOVE PROGRESSIVELY FORWARD WITH CENTRALISED AILERONS
   Warning: If out-spin aileron is applied during recovery, the recovery will be prolonged and may be prevented.
   When rotation ceases:
8. CONTROLS - CENTRALISE
9. RECOVER FROM DIVE
   If rotation has not ceased after four turns:
10. CONTROL COLUMN - CONFIRM FULL FORWARD AND APPLY FULL AILERON IN DIRECTION OF TURN NEEDLE
    If confused as to direction of turn or correct recovery controls:
11. REMOVE HANDS AND FEET FROM CONTROLS. The aircraft will recover in 2 to 3 turns (800 to 1,600 ft height loss plus dive recovery)
    If no sign of recovery by 4,000 ft AO:
12. EXECUTE AIRCRAFT ABANDONMENT CHECKLIST
    Warning: Spin recovery should be initiated no lower then 4,500 ft AO
