ing
techniques
may be
used
to perform intentional spins for
training
or
practice. To obtain a
clean
entry,
decelerate
the aircraft at a faster rate
than
is
used
for stalls. Then, just as the
stall
occurs,
apply
full
up
ele-
vator,
full
rudder in the desired spin direction, and momentarily use
full
engine
power.
As the aircraft
begins
to spin,
reduce
the
power
to idle
and maintain
full
pro-spin elevator and rudder deflections. The applica-
tion
of ailerons in the direction of the desired spin may
also
help obtain
a
clean
entry.
During
extended
spins of two to three turns or more, the spin
will
tend to
change
into a spiral, particularly to the
right.
This
will
be ac-
companied
by an
increase
in airspeed and gravity
loads
on the aircraft.
If
this
occurs,
recovery
should be
accomplished
quickly by leveling the
wings and recovering from the resulting dive.
To
recover
from an intentional or inadvertent spin, use the following
procedure:
(1) Retard throttle to idle position.
(2) Apply
full
rudder
opposite
to the direction of rotation.
(3) After one-fourth
turn,
move
the control wheel forward of neutral
in
a brisk motion.
(4) As the rotation
stops,
neutralize the rudder, and make a smooth
recovery
from the resulting dive.
Intentional
spins
with
flaps
extended
are prohibited.
LANDINGS.
Normal
landings are
made
power-off
with
any flap setting desired.
Steep
slips should be
avoided
with
flap settings greater than 20° due to
a slight
tendency
for the elevator to oscillate under certain combinations
of airspeed, sideslip angle, and
center
of gravity loadings.
NOTE
Carburetor heat should be applied prior to any signi-
ficant reduction or closing of the
throttle.
NORMAL
LANDING.
Landings should be
made
on the main
wheels
first
to
reduce
the land-
ing
speed
and
subsequent
need
for braking in the landing
roll.
