NORMAL
PROCEDURES
tended
spins
of
two
to
three
turns
or more, the spin
will
tend
to
change
into
a
spiral, particularly
to the
right. This
will
be
accompanied
by
an
increase
in
airspeed and
gravity
loads on the airplane.
If this
occurs, recovery
should be accomplished
quickly by leveling
the wings and recovering
from the resulting
dive.
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 AILER-
ONS
ARE NEUTRAL.
2.
APPLY AND HOLD FULL RUDDER
OPPOSITE TO
THE DIREC-
TION
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
R,ESULTING
DIVE.
NOTE
If
disorientation precludes
a
visual determination
of
the
direction of rotation, the symbolic airplane
in
the turn
coordinator may
be
referred to for
this information.
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
wiII
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
speeds
which may occur during recovery
are
potentially damaging
to the
flap/wing
structure.
LANDING
NORMAL LANDING
Normal landing
approaches can
be
made
with
power-on or power-off
with
any
flap setting
desired. Surface
winds
and
air turbulence
are
usually
the
primary factors in determining
the
most
comfortable
approach
speeds.
