4.16.5 Recovery
Recovery is simply made by moving the stick forwards to reduce angle
of attack. Any tendency to wing drop should be countered by
application of opposite rudder sufficient to prevent further yaw
towards the dropping wing. These two actions should be performed
simultaneously.
4.16.6 In Turning Flight.
Stalling speeds are increased with bank angle, in the manner normally
expected. The Skyranger Swift often has the characteristic of rolling
towards wings level as the stall occurs. Recovery is standard. Move the
stick forwards to reduce angle of attack and apply power. Simultaneous
opposite rudder should be applied against any rolling tendency. Once
the aircraft is safely above the stalling speed co-ordinated aileron and
rudder can be used to level the wings.
4.17 Aerobatics
Aerobatics are not permitted in this aircraft.
4.18 Departures from Controlled Flight.
4.18.1 The Spin
Deliberate spinning is prohibited. However, it is possible through
gross mishandling of the aircraft to inadvertently enter a spin. Should
this happen, the spin can be seen by a steep nose-down pitch attitude
(about 45° nose down) and the aircraft rapidly yawing in one direction.
Some higher than normal 'g' forces may also be experienced. Should
this occur, close the throttle move the stick and rudder pedals to their
central positions immediately. The aircraft should stop turning almost
immediately and be established in a steep nose down attitude with the
airspeed rising rapidly. At this point, retract flaps if extended, and
gently ease out of the dive. Normal flight can then be resumed.
4.18.2 Other Departures
Other departures from controlled flight are likely either to be due to
damage to the aircraft, or hazardous flying conditions. In either case,
land as soon as possible and examine the aircraft, particularly the
flying controls, for any damage.
