LOSS OF FLIGHT CONTROLS
STABILATOR CONTROL FAILURE
This procedure assumes landing with a complete stabilator control failure (locked in the up & down movement axis)
Besides the stabilator, there are three other forms of pitch control in the RV-12iS: Flaperons, Trim tab and Throttle.
Flap extension and retraction commands will result in normal pitch changes, but will be the reverse of conditioned
reflexes for normal control stick commanded pitch changes. For this reason, it is not recommended as a preferred pitch
controller, in order to avoid the possibility of an erroneous pitch command (and pitch response).
Once trimmed for certain airspeed, retracting flaps will produce a pitch up moment (the nose will rise relative to the
previous position).
Electric trim can be used to change pitch at the round out and flare.
If available, find a suitable airport with a long, wide runway aligned with wind direction and be prepared for a go around.
