Performing spins intentionally is prohibited. However, if it occurs by error or by an
extraordinary circumstance, execution of the following steps will lead to its recovery:
1. Apply full opposite rudder and at the same time push the control stick to the forward
position.
Ailerons must be in neutral position
.
1. When rotation stops, return the rudder to normal (neutral) position and pull out of the
dive in shallow climb. Move the controls gently to prevent stress and excessive speed
build-up.
Too steep of a recovery
at an insufficient speed or even at higher speed
can
lead to stalling and repeated fall into the spin
.
WARNING:
During powered flight the engine must be throttled to idle. This prevents
overspeeding of the engine during spin recovery.
5.5 ENGINE FAILURE
WARNING:
The engines applied on this aircraft are not certificated as aircraft engines and
potential failures can occur more frequently. Take this into account and maintain sufficient
height over hostile terrain such that a safe emergency landing at another location is possible
at any time.
5.5.1 Engine failure during acceleration on the runway
1. Rpm to idle , apply wheelbrake .
2. Ignition switch OFF, fuel valve OFF.
3. Roll out straight ahead or avoid obstacles, if necessary.
5.5.2 Engine failure after take-off
1. Set the aircraft into gliding regime. Push the nose down if in a climb. Switch off the
ignition. Switch off the fuel valve.
2. At height under 50 m AGL [160 ft AGL] land straight ahead making shallow turns to avoid
obstacles only.
3. At higher elevation, land into the wind or if the elevation is sufficient provide a normal
shortened pattern landing. The glide ratio of the aircraft enables one to select a suitable
area for an emergency landing in most cases.
4. In a normal cruise elevation, one may try to restart the engine. The following procedure is
to be followed:
•
find a suitable area for emergency landing
•
Ignition switch ON, fuel valve ON
•
increase the speed to 130-140 km/h (70-76 kt)
•
start
the
engine
WARNING: complete all attempts to restart at a height above 150 m (450 ft AGL) so
that sufficient altitude remains for a landing in a selected area.
