4.12.3 SPIN
Spin entry:
Airspeed REDUCE
At reaching stall speed:
Rudder to desired direction of spin APPLY
Aileron NEUTRAL
Elevator PULL
The aircraft falls in a stable spin. The loss of altitude for 6 turns of standard spin (rudder deflected,
aileron neutral, elevator pulled, power off) is about 2300 ft. Applying aileron against the direction of
spin will cause a flat spin; aileron into the direction of spin will cause a spiral dive.
Applying aileron into the direction of spin will cause a flat spin; aileron against the direction of spin will
cause a spiral dive.
To induce inverted spins the elevator must be pushed, and aileron action is reversed.
Spin recovery:
Rudder against direction of spin APPLY
Throttle IDLE
Ailerons NEUTRAL
Elevator NEUTRAL
The spin stops within a half revolution. Recovery is accelerated by aileron deflection into the direction
of rotation.
Recovery can be severely handicapped or completely blocked by aileron against rotation!
If loss of orientation occurs during spin:
Throttle IDLE
Hard rudder pedal APPLY
Stick CENTER
The spin stops within 1 turn and the aircraft can be recovered from the resulting dive.
