Spins

Question 1

An OCF condition can be caused by stalling the aircraft ______.

Answer 1

In uncoordinated flight

Question 2

Which is the first, or initial, stage of out-of-control flight?

Answer 2

Poststall gyrations

Question 3

True or false: Steady airspeed indications are an indication of a poststall gyration

Answer 3

False

Question 4

During a practice OCF entry, you must set the PCL to IDLE ______.

Answer 4

Prior to applying rudder

Question 5

You have encountered a poststall gyration with the aircraft rolling and yawing to the right. What is the proper stick input for OCF recovery?

Answer 5

Neutral

Question 6

How do know that neutral controls are becoming effective in eliminating an OCF condition?

Answer 6

Yaw rate decreases and the nose pitches down

Question 7

What are the two categories of steady-state spins for the T-6A?

Answer 7

Erect spins and inverted spins

Question 8

True or false: Rate-of-turn pointer deflection can be used to determine the difference between a spiral and a spin.

Answer 8

False

Question 9

True or false: AOA indicating zero units is a proper indication of an inverted spin

Answer 9

True

Question 10

True or false: The purpose of the stability demonstration is to show that a spin may be entered even if the aircraft is not allowed to stall.

Answer 10

False

Question 11

What will happen if OCF recovery procedures are not performed during the initial two stages of an OCF condition?

Answer 11

The aircraft will eventually transition to a steady-state spin.

Question 12

True or false: Rate-of-turn pointer fully deflected in the direction of rotation is NOT an indication of an incipient spin

Answer 12

False

Question 13

What is the approximate practice spin entry airspeed?

Answer 13

80 KIAS

Question 14

You are performing a practice OCF recovery. When do you begin the recovery?

Answer 14

When directed by the IP

Question 15

What is the first step of the Inadvertent Departure From Controlled Flight checklist?

Answer 15

PCL - IDLE

Question 16

When do you begin the unusual attitude recovery after performing the OCF recovery procedure?

Answer 16

When aircraft gyrations stop and the aircraft is under control

Question 17

To recover from an inverted spin check the following: gear, flaps and speed brake – Retracted, PCL – IDLE, apply full rudder opposite the rate-of-turn pointer, and ______.

Answer 17

Stick aft of neutral (up to full aft stick may be used)

Question 18

The best control inputs to recover from a spiral are PCL to IDLE and _______.

Answer 18

Neutral stick and neutral rudder

Question 19

Enter a stability demonstration maneuver by accelerating to 160 KIAS, adjusting power to 60% torque, and raising the nose to a ______ pitch attitude.

Answer 19

45°
