Spiral dive recovery
A spin - depending of c/g position, flap setting and use of controls - may turn into a
spiral dive, which is indicated by a rapid increase in speed and acceleration
Recovery from a spiral dive is achieved by easing the control stick forward and
applying opposite rudder and aileron.
Warning:
When pulling out of the dive, the limiting airspeed for the various flap settings
(if necessary, reset flaps at “0”) and the permissible control surface
deflections at V
A
/ V
NE
- see section 2.2 - must be observed!
In spiral dive or to stop the spiral dive airbrakes should not be extended since
the permissible load factor with airbrakes extended is below the permissible
load factor with airbrakes retracted - see section 2.9 – and this may lead to
overstress of the wing.
