Spin Recovery; Spiral Dive Recovery - DG Flugzeugbau LS8 Series Flight Manual

3.5 Spin Recovery

Simultaneously:
Elevator-push forward
Rudder-full rudder deflection opposite to spin rotation until rotation stops
Aileron-opposite to spin rotation for quicker termination
Until rotation stops, then:
Elevator-smooth pull-out
Altitude loss during recovery about 100 m (300 ft)
Note: According to actual aileron deflection and C.G. position, more or less
pronounced floating around the pitch axis (pitchingoscillation) occurs during
spinning.

3.6 Spiral Dive Recovery

Spiral dive may occur, when the sailplane terminates spinning on its own and
not by pilots action.
Then:
Rudder - opposite to dive rotation
Aileron - opposite to angle of bank
Elevator - pull cautiously
Warning: During dive-out be alert not to exceed maximum permissible speed
VNE = 280 km/h (151 kt.; 174 mph) inadvertently!
