Unusual Attitude Recoveries
Purpose: To recognize unusual attitudes in a timely manner. Then, to expeditiously recover the
aircraft to level flight as safely as possible, and without exceeding the aircraft limitations.

o
Area: Clear
o
Mixture: Rich (or as required)

Your Instructor will set up unusual attitudes for your practice. Different combinations of pitch, bank
and airspeed will be practiced. Make sure transfer of aircraft control is positive. When told to
recover, use appropriate procedures to bring the aircraft safely and promptly back to level flight.
Nose Low Recoveries:

o
Power: to idle (or as required)

Pull:
Increase backpressure to bring the nose up to the horizon
Nose High Recoveries (with flying airspeed):

Power: Add full power unless airspeed is critically low
o
Roll: Increase bank toward the nearest horizon
o
Pull:
Increase backpressure to bring the nose down to the horizon
Nose High Recoveries (without flying airspeed, or if flying airspeed is lost):
o
Power: Reduce power to prevent yaw
o Controls: Neutralize the Ailerons and Elevators to "unload" the aircraft.

o
Power: As required
