Spin recovery procedure with asymmetric water ballast load
It may be possible to recover the JS-3 from a spin with a significant
asymmetric water ballast load, provided correct recovery procedures are
followed. The high rotation rate of approximately 120° per second may
cause extended airbrakes to blank off the elevator. With airbrakes
extended the spin attitude stabilizes with the nose approximately 20°
below the horizon.
To recover from a spin towards the heavy wing, use the following
procedure:
1. Apply full rudder opposite to the spin rotation.
2. Simultaneously release the elevator back pressure by moving
the stick fully forward.
3. Close the airbrakes.
4. Move the flaps to the full negative position (Position 1).
5. Apply aileron into the turn.
6. Centralize the controls when the rotation stops.
7. Gently pull out of the resulting dive.
A spin entry towards the lighter wing is unlikely and recovery is normal.
WARNING: Intentional spins with water ballast are prohibited and
recovery with an asymmetric water ballast load may be
impossible if the incorrect recovery procedure is used.
