compass heading and make minor corrections to hold an approximate
course. Before descending into the clouds, set up a stabilized let-down
condition as follows:
1. Extend landing gear.
2. Apply full rich mixture.
3. Apply full carburetor heat.
4. Reduce power to set up a 500to 800 ft/min rate of descent.
5. Adjust the elevator and rudder trim control wheels for a stabilized
descent at 80 KIAS.
6. Keep hands off control wheel.
7. Monitor turn coordinator and make corrections by rudder alone.
8. Adjust rudder trim to relieve unbalanced rudder force,
if
present.
9. Check trend of compass card movement and make cautious
corrections with rudder to stop turn.
10. Upon breaking out of clouds, resume normal cruising flight.
RECOVERY FROM A SPIRAL DIVE
If a spiral is encountered, proceed as follows:
1. Close the throttle.
2. Stop the turn by using coordinated aileron and rudder control to
align the symbolic airplane in the turn coordinator with the
horizon reference line.
3. Cautiously apply elevator back pressure to slowly reduce the
indicated airspeed to 80 KIAS.
4. Adjust the elevator trim control to maintain an 80 KIAS glide.
5. Keep hands off the control wheel, using rudder control to hold a
straight heading.
Use rudder trim to
relieve unbalanced rudder
force, if present.
o.
Apply carburetor heat as necessary.
7. Clear engine occasionally, but avoid using enough power to
disturb the trimmed glide.
8. Upon breaking out of clouds, resume normal cruising flight.
INADVERTENT FLIGHT INTO ICING CONDITIONS
Flight into icing conditions is prohibited. An inadvertent encounter
with these conditions can best be handled using the checklist procedures.
The best procedure, of course, is to turn back or change altitude to escape
icing conditions.
