Expect to lose approximately 500 feet for every turn of a spin with an additional
1500-2000 feet for a normal dive recovery. An erect spin recovery procedure is as
follows:
1. Gear, flaps, and speed brake - Retracted
2. PCL - IDLE
3. Rudder - Full opposite to turn needle deflection
4. Control stick - Forward of neutral with ailerons neutral
5. Smoothly recover to level flight after spin rotation stops
The aircraft should recover from an erect spin with controls (rudder, ailerons, and
elevator) free and with PCL at IDLE.
However, the number of additional turns required for spin rotation to cease after
releasing controls may increase significantly. Depending on the centre of gravity
and how deeply the aircraft is in the spin, several more turns may be required for
spin recovery following release of the controls.
Typically, upon release of controls, the rudder pedals will centre and the control
stick will move to either the left or right of centre in the direction of the spin and
then slowly begin to work forward as up-elevator angle decreases.
The controls-free spin recovery procedure is not the recommended method of
recovery.
If the control stick remains at or near full aft travel for more than 4 turns
(approximately 2,000 feet of altitude loss) after releasing the controls, the aircraft
may not recover from the spin.
Upon verifying steady-state spin indication, initiate anti-spin recovery inputs.
Controls neutral spin recoveries have been demonstrated and, generally, spin
rotation will cease within 2 additional turns after neutralizing controls in each axis.
