DEPARTURE RECOVERY
Recovery from inadvertent loss of aircraft control, including post stall gyrations and
incipient spins, can be accomplished by promptly reducing power to IDLE, and
positively neutralizing flight controls in all axes.
Patience and the maintenance of neutral controls (including visual verification of
control positions) is vital since the dynamics of any aircraft departure may prevent
an immediate response of the aircraft to control inputs.
NOTE
Cycling of control positions or applying anti-spin controls prematurely can
aggravate aircraft motion and significantly delay recovery.
Recovery from a confirmed steady-state spin by maintaining neutral controls is
possible, but time to recover and altitude loss will be greater than with use of
proper anti-spin control.
Consequently, after neutralizing the flight controls and verifying that power is at
IDLE, if cockpit indications confirm that a steady-state spin has developed, the
appropriate anti-spin control inputs should be made to ensure prompt recovery
from the spin.
WARNING
A spiral is often mistaken for a spin. Anti-spin controls may not be effective
in arresting a spiral and may actually aggravate the situation.
CAUTION
If not in a steady-state spin, as indicated by increasing airspeed, AOA not at a
stalled condition (erect or inverted), and oscillatory motions not typical of the
spin, check and maintain IDLE power and neutral controls until regaining
aircraft control.
