Emergency procedures
Introduction
This chapter provides information on how to react when confronted with typical flight hazards.
Stall recovery
First reduce angle of attack by easing-off on the control stick, then
1. Add full power (throttle lever in full forward position).
2. Resume horizontal flight.
Spin recovery
Virus 912 is constructed in such manner that it is difficult to be flown into a spin. However, once spin-
ning, intentionally or unintentionally, react as follows:
1. Set throttle to idle (lever in full back position).
2. Apply full rudder deflection in the direction opposite the spin.
3. Lower the nose towards the ground to build speed (stick forward).
4. As the aircraft stops spinning neutralise rudder deflection.
5. Slowly pull up and regain horizontal flight.
Virus 912 tends to re-establish rightened flight by itself usually after having spinned for a mere 90°.
WARNING!
Keep the control stick centred along its lateral axis (no aileron deflections
throughout the recovery phase! Do not attempt to stop the aircraft from spinning using ailerons
instead of rudder!
WARNING!
After having stopped spinning, recovering from the dive must be performed
using gentle stick movements (pull), rather than overstressing the aircraft.
However, VNE must not be exceeded during this manoeuvre.
When the aircraft is rightened and flies horizontally, add throttle and resume normal flight.
Engine failure
Engine failure during takeoff
Ensure proper airspeed by reducing angle of attack and land the aircraft in runway heading,
avoiding eventual obstacles in your way.
Shut both fuel valves and set master switch to OFF position (key full left).
WARNING!
DO NOT CHANGE COURSE OR MAKE TURNS IF THIS IS NOT OF VITAL NECESSITY!
After having landed safely, ensure protection of aircraft and vacate the runway as soon as possi-
ble to keep the runway clear for arriving and departing traffic.
