CONTROLLABILITY
CHECK
FLIGHT CONTROLS
It is absolutely imperative that the aircrew thoroughly
and safely evaluate the degraded handling character-
istics of damaged or malfunctioning aircraft prior to
continued flight and landing. This check does not
take priority over existing emergency procedures.
If aircraft stalls or departs in dirty
configuration, immediately unload
and place throttles at military. Do not
raise flaps until recovered. (If during
flap/slat transition, follow uncom-
manded roll/yaw procedures.)
A controllability check requires the
total attention and awareness of the
aircrew. The aircrew must be
prepared to encounter unusual han-
dling characteristics, since aerody-
namic properties of the aircraft may
be significantly changed. Stall
speed as well as flight and ground
handling characteristics may be
drastically different from normal.
