Answer 1

1. Disengage autopilot
2. Disengage autothrottle

Recover:
1. Apply nose-down elevator.
2. Apply appropriate nose down stabilizer trim
3. Reduce thrust
4. Roll to obtain a nose down pitch rate if needed.

** Complete the recovery:**
5. When approaching the horizon, roll to wings level
6. Check airspeed and adjust thrust
7. Establish pitch attitude.

Note: Ailerons are only used at step 4, and wings are only levelled at s

Question 2

Recall Nose Low Recovery

Answer 2

1. Disengage autopilot
2. Disengage autothrottle
3. Recover from stall, if needed
4. Roll in the shortest direction to wings
   level. If bank angle is more than 90
   degrees, unload and roll.*

Complete the recovery:
5. Apply nose up elevator
6. Apply nose up trim, if needed
7. Adjust thrust and drag, if needed.

Question 3

What is Nauru Airline’s upset recovery phylosophy?

Answer 3

1. Assess Upset situation. (Count to three)
2. State Upset situation and take control eg. “Nose High upset recovery, I have control”
3. P – PUSH: Push forward on the control column to unload the wings (even in nose down upset).
4. R – ROLL: Roll the shortest way to the horizon.
5. P – POWER: Adjust thrust as needed (if increasing thrust, this should be accomplished slowly).
6. R – RECOVER: Recover to normal flight and re-engage automation.

Question 4

Should you recover from the upset situation with one hand on the thrust lever or both hands on the control colomn?

Answer 4

Two hands will enable more fine motor skills when recovering. Momentary small changes to thrust can be made. Both hands should then be used to recover from upset situations.

Question 5

During the recovery phase in a Nose low upset situation, should the thrust be adjusted?

Answer 5

No. Only once you’re completing your recovery, AFTER recovering from the stall (speed), apply the following steps:

1. Apply nose up elevator (3º per second)
2. Trim (Gradual)
3. Adjust thrust Check speed
4. Adjust configuration if needed.

Question 6

What is Nauru Airline’s recommended approach to rebuilding automation after recovering from an upset situation?

Answer 6

1. Recycle F/D’s
2. Engage A/P
3. Select Pitch mode - Select ALT if required
4. Select Roll mode - Select HDG if required
5. Engage Auto throttle - Select SPD if required

Question 7

What indication tells you the load factor on the wings?

Answer 7

IAS (Min manoeuvering speed/barber pole)

When you push forward, it should start to dissapear.
