Emergency procedures
Introduction
This chapter provides information on how to react when confronted with typical ight hazards.
Stall recovery
First reduce angle of attack by easing-o on the control stick, then
1. Add full power (throttle lever in full forward position).
2. Resume horizontal ight.
Spin recovery
Virus 912 is constructed in such manner that it is dicult to be own into a spin. However, once spin-
ning, intentionally or unintentionally, react as follows:
1. Set throttle to idle (lever in full back position).
2. Apply full rudder deection in the direction opposite the spin.
3. Lower the nose towards the ground to build speed (stick forward).
4. As the aircraft stops spinning neutralise rudder deection.
5. Slowly pull up and regain horizontal ight.
Virus 912 tends to re-establish rightened ight by itself usually after having spinned for a mere 90°.
WARNING! Keep the control stick centred along its lateral axis (no aileron deections
throughout the recovery phase! Do not attempt to stop the aircraft from spinning using ailerons
instead of rudder!
WARNING! After having stopped spinning, recovering from the dive must be performed
using gentle stick movements (pull), rather than overstressing the aircraft.
However, VNE must not be exceeded during this manoeuvre.
When the aircraft is rightened and ies horizontally, add throttle and resume normal ight.
Engine failure
Engine failure during takeo
Ensure proper airspeed by reducing angle of attack and land the aircraft in runway heading,
avoiding eventual obstacles in your way.
Shut both fuel valves and set master switch to OFF position (key full left).
WARNING! DO NOT CHANGE COURSE OR MAKE TURNS IF THIS IS NOT OF VITAL NECESSITY!
After having landed safely, ensure protection of aircraft and vacate the runway as soon as possi-
ble to keep the runway clear for arriving and departing trac.
