33. Spins are not approved in the Cessna 182. As the aircraft does not exhibit wing-drop
tendencies, incipient spins require aggressive entry technique and are likely to result in a full
spin. Deliberate incipient spins or full spins are prohibited.
34. Spin Recovery. In the case of an unintentional spin, the recovery procedure is consistent
with most general aviation aircraft and follows the acronym PARE (Power – Aileron – Rudder
– Elevator). Spin recovery is accomplished as follows:
a. P – Power – bring throttle to idle.
b. A – Ailerons – centralize the control column. Raise flaps if required;
c. R – Rudder – apply full rudder opposite to the direction of rotation;
d. E – Elevator – ease the yoke forward to break the stall; and
e. once rotation stops, centralize the rudders, level the wings, ease out of the
ensuing dive, and establish a climb to a safe altitude.
Spin recoveries are a critical emergency procedure
and shall be committed to memory.
35. Spiral dives are steep descending turns characterized by rapidly increasing airspeed and
rate of descent (in a spin, the airspeed and rate of descent remain relatively low and constant).
Left uncorrected, a spiral dive usually leads to structural failure. Attempts to recover using aft
control column will only tighten the spiral.
36. Spiral Dive Recovery. The spiral dive recovery procedure for this aircraft is consistent
with most general aviation aircraft and follows the acronym PRP (Power – Roll – Pull):
a. P – Power – reduce power to idle;
b. R – Roll – roll to a wings level attitude with full aileron deflection;
c. P – Pull – pull the nose up to ease out of the ensuing dive; and
d. after recovery from the spiral dive, apply power as required to establish a climb to
a safe altitude.
Spiral dive recoveries are a critical emergency
procedure and shall be committed to memory.
