  8. Slowly increase back pressure to full elevator authority (DO NOT tail strike)
  9. Maintain back pressure until off “soft” surface
91
Q

Unusual Attitudes

A
  1. Use the attitude indicator to quickly determine whether the airplane is in a nose high or nose low attitude (cross check with altimeter, airspeed, and vertical speed indicators)
  2. Recognizing a nose high attitude: nose up pitch on attitude indicator, increasing altitude on altimeter, vertical speed indicator shows climb, decreasing airspeed (possibly approaching a stall)
  3. Nose High Recovery: add full power, simultaneously lower the nose to the horizon, level the wings, trim
  4. Recognizing a nose low attitude: nose down pitch on attitude indicator, decreasing altitude on altimeter, vertical speed indicator shows descent, increasing airspeed
  5. Nose Low Recovery: bring power to idle, level the wings to avoid overstressing the airframe, smoothly bring the nose to the horizon, trim
  6. Perform Cruise Checklist when appropriate
