*Spin Recovery

Question 1

List the six actions for spin recovery

Answer 1

1. Throttle—idle (Bring the throttle fully aft to the idle stop)
2. Rudder—full opposite spin direction (after confirming the direction of spin push and hold the rudder pedal it is opposite the direction of the spin fully forward with your foot. Rudder is the primary control for spin recovery)
3. Control stick—ease forward (while holding full opposite rather deflection, easily control stick forward with positive movement through the neutral state position to reduce angle of attack and recover from the start condition full rudder deflection combined with moving the control stick forward will stop the slideslip and rotation)
4. Rudder—neutral when rotation stops
5. Flaps—cruise (move the flap switch fully upward to the cruise position; airspeed will rapidly increase after recovering from the spin and this action will prevent flap over speed)
6. Control stick—pull cautiously (level the wings as required and pull the control stick aft in order to return to straight and level flight; Pull cautiously to ensure that you do not over-G the airplane or enter a secondary stall; on the other hand, excessive delay recovering from the dive may cause the airspeed to exceed structural limitation or may result in failure to arrest the descent prior to impacting terrain
