3.6 Spin Recovery __________________________________
If the motorglider spins unintentionally, the following procedures are
recommended (for both glider-configuration and powered-configuration):
1.
Rudder
DEFLECT in the direction
opposite to the spin
2.
Ailerons
NEUTRAL
3.
Elevator
RELEASE back-pressure or
PUSH slightly forward
4.
Throttle
IDLE
5.
End of spin and end of stall
WAIT
6.
Rudder
NEUTRAL (as soon as the spin
has stopped)
7.
A/C with elevator
PULL-OUT of dive with caution
Warning:
Altitude-loss
from start of the spin-recovery to level-flight
may be
330 ft / 100 m
Warning:
Recovery from the spin with flaps
in landing-configuration
can cause
structural damage
. If the A/C spins with flaps in
landing-configuration,
retract flaps to NEUTRAL
and use
standard procedure of spin-recovery.
Caution:
If the A/C spins with a running engine, set the throttle to
IDLE.
Caution:
With a forward CG-position, the spin can start a spiral-dive.
Recover from spiral-dive using the standard procedures.
Note:
With a rear CG-position, the spin is accompanied by
periodical pitch movements with about one oscillation per
turn.
