3.14 Inadvertent spin
Close throttle.
Centralize stick and rudder controls.
The aircraft will recover very quickly to a steep dive.
Retract flap if deployed (unlikely, the aircraft is very hard to spin with full flap).
Gently ease of out the dive and return to normal flight.
3.15 Inadvertent icing encounter
Activate carburetor heat control. Fly clear of conditions as soon as possible. If airframe icing is suspected
do not fly at low speed until sure any ice has cleared.
3.16 Loss of primary instruments
Land as soon as possible at a suitable airfield. Consider runway length and availability of emergency
services.
3.17 Loss of flight controls
I Should you lose elevator control due to a mechanical failure, trim the aircraft to 70 mph, 60kt.
With a reduced power setting, make a shallow power-on landing approach, throttle back and flare
using the trim. Avoid use of the flap.
II If you lose aileron control, you can fly the aircraft with rudder alone.
III If you lose rudder control, the aircraft can be flown with the ailerons alone.
In extreme turbulence leading to an uncontrolled flight situation activate the rescue system.
