08-E: Recovery from Unusual Flight Attitudes

  • unusual attitude recovery
    • in the brown, power down
      • recovery procedures
        • power down
        • remove bank
        • gently pull out of the dive
      • effects of wrong order
        • attempting to raise the nose before leveling the wings
          • tightens the spin rotation, instead of ending the dive, and thus
          • may result in a graveyard spin
    • in the blue, power through
      • in the blue, we are nose high
        • power down
        • nose down (our instinct needs to be to push the nose down)
        • remove bank with ailerons

concentrate on taking out the bank first
