4. 

Notify appropriate controlling agency, if appropriate.

5. 

Determine control difficulty airspeed by slowing down while flying straight ahead.  Do 
not allow the aircraft to stall.

6. 

Make full stop landing using
normal approach speed, whichever is higher.

 
4.15  RECOVERY FROM INADVERTENT SPINS:
 

Intentional spins are prohibited.  If the aircraft inadvertently enters a spin, 
apply full rudder opposite to the direction of rotation and full nose down elevator with ail
rons neutral and reduce power to idle.  When the rotation stops, neutralize the rudder and 
elevator, and ease back on the control wheel as required 
Wing flaps should be retracted to avoid exceeding the maximum flap speeds during reco
ery. 

 
4.16  ALTERNATOR FAILURE
 

Alternator output should be monitored by reference to the ammeter located on the right side 
of the engine instrument cluster.  Should the ammeter indicate a minus deflection when e
gine RPM is above 900 and/or red "ALTERNATOR OFF WARNING" light is illuminated, 
push ALT switch OFF then ON.  Repeat two times as necessary to reset.  If system will not 
reset, reduce the electrical load as much as possible, land as soon as practical and invest
gate the electrical system malfunction before further flight.
