3.2. Stalls
The stall characteristics in level flight are docile. Normal flight attitude can be
recovered by pushing the stick forward, increasing speed and then smoothly pulling
the aircraft up again.
Maximum loss of altitude during stall recovery is 50m (165 ft). Pitch down does not
exceed 25°.
The aircraft does not go into a spin during a stall in a 30° turn. Normal flight attitude
can be recovered by pushing the stick forward, increasing speed and then smoothly
pulling the aircraft up and simultaneously correcting the angle of bank.
Maximum loss of altitude during recovery is 60 m (180 ft). The angle of bank does
not exceed 60°.
3.3. Inadvertent
spin
The aircraft shows no inclination to go into an inadvertent spin during normal stall or
during stalls in turns.
Should the aircraft, however, inadvertently enter into a spin, the following recovery
procedure should be used:
All control surfaces in neutral position
Rudder opposite to direction of rotation
Retard throttle
Smooth recovery in the neutral attitude
Warning:
As this aircraft is aerodynamically very efficient with low drag, airspeed
increases quickly during a dive. It is essential that attention be paid to
airspeed limitations, control surface deflection and flight load factors
when recovering the aircraft from a steep dive.
Warning:
Should the attempt to recover the aircraft fail or should recovery appear
doubtful due to low altitude, the recovery system should be deployed.
