Safety Information
aircraft
is
a stall and spin.
Stall
demonstrations
and
practice are a means for a
pilot
to
acquire
the
skills
to
recognize
when
a stall is
about
to
occur and
to
recover
as soon as
the
first signs of a stall are
evident.
If a stall does not occur
-
A spin cannot
occur. It is
important
to remember however,
that
a
stall can occur in
any
flight attitude, at
any
airspeed,
if controls are misused.
Unless
your
aircraft
has
been
specifically
certificated
in
the aerobatic category and specifically
tested
for
spin recovery
characteristics,
it is
placarded
against intentional spins. The
pilot
of
an
airplane
placarded
against
intentional
spins should
assume that the airplane may become uncontrollable
in a spin,
since
its performance
characteristics
beyond
certain
limits
specified
in
the
FAA
regulations
may not have
been
tested
and
are
unknown. This
is
why aircraft are placarded against
intentional spins, and this is why stall avoidance is
your protection against an inadvertent
spin.
Pilots are.taught
that intentional
spins are entered
by
deliberately inducing
a yawing movement
with the
controls as the
aircraft
is stalled. Inadvertent
spins
result
from the same combination
-
stall
plus
yaw.
That
is
why
it
is important
to
use
coordinated
controls
and
to
recover
at the first indication
of a
stall when practicing stalls.
