SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
Regardless of how many turns the spin is held or how it is entered,
the following recovery technique should be used:
1. VERIFY THAT THROTTLE IS IN IDLE POSITION AND
AILERONS ARE NEUTRAL.
2. APPLY AND HOLD FULL RUDDER OPPOSITE TO THE
DIRECTION OF ROTATION.
3. JUST
AFTER
THE RUDDER REACHES THE STOP, MOVE
THE CONTROL WHEEL
BRISKLY
FORWARD FAR
ENOUGH TO BREAK THE STALL.
4. HOLD THESE CONTROL INPUTS UNTIL ROTATION
STOPS.
5. AS ROTATION STOPS, NEUTRALIZE RUDDER, AND
MAKE A SMOOTH RECOVERY FROM THE RESULTING
DIVE.
NOTE
If disorientation makes the direction of rotation difficult
to determine, see the turn vector near the index at the
top of the Horizontal Situation Indicator (HSI).
Variations in basic airplane rigging or in weight and balance due to
installed equipment or right seat occupancy can cause differences
in behavior, particularly in extended spins. These differences are
normal and will result in variations in the spin characteristics and in
the spiraling tendencies for spins of more than 2 turns. However,
the recovery technique should always be used and will result in the
most expeditious recovery from any spin.
Intentional spins with flaps extended are prohibited, since the high
airspeeds which may occur during recovery can be more than the
flap airspeed limitation and can damage the flap and wing
structures.
