 Ex 11. Spin awareness (if applicable)
Aim: To understand and recognise the onset of situations which may lead to an
inadvertant spin, and to learn how to instinctively take the necessary control actions to effect a recovery back to
normal flight condition before a spin occurs, ie: to recover the incipient stage
Airmanship:
- Special attention to lookout - clearing turn to check rear
- Checks to ensure safe operation through exercise ie: height/location etc
Causes of spin:
Recognition of Incipient spin:
Recovery from the incipient spin:
- Use of controls
- Danger of using ailerons at the incipient stage
- Effect of power and flap (flap restriction as applicable to type)
- Effect of centre of gravity on spin
- Recovery at the incipient stage from various attitudes and configurations
Standard required at end of phase 2
Prior to circuit training, ability to control aircraft safely in slow flight just above the stall
(Vs + 2mph) and able to recover to normal flight at incipient stall stage. Prior to solo flight, a very high
standard of competence at recovering safely from fully developed stall and demonstrable ability to prevent aircraft
getting into dangerous attitudes from all stall/spin-and-recovery manoeuvres. |
