Common ScenarioCommon Scenario

• Accident occurred during a flight review

• Conditions were day, VFR with winds nearby reported at about 5 knots

• No anomalies were found with flight or power controls, or with the engine

• Last moments reconstructed using radar data and data recovered from the aircraft’s PFD and MFD

DiscussionDiscussion

• What are your thoughts about this accident?

• Where does the first major link occur in the accident chain?

• How many warning signs can you identify in the accident sequence?

• Relative to the traffic pattern, what elements of stall/spin awareness do you emphasize?

• Yaw and stall must both be present in order for an aircraft to spin.

—What are the various sources of yaw?

• According to the Airplane Flying Handbook, what are the four phases of a spin?

“There are four phases of a spin: entry, incipient, developed, and recovery.”

• During a spin, how do the angles of attack of the left and right wings compare?

• Unless the manufacturer states otherwise, how should spin recovery inputs be applied?

DiscussionDiscussionStep 1—REDUCE THE POWER (THROTTLE) TO IDLE. Power aggravates the spin characteristics.

Step 2—POSITION THE AILERONS TO NEUTRAL. Ailerons may have an adverse effect on spin recovery.

Step 3—APPLY FULL OPPOSITE RUDDER AGAINST THE ROTATION. Make sure that full (against the stop) opposite rudder has been applied.

Step 4—APPLY A POSITIVE AND BRISK, STRAIGHT FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE ELEVATOR CONTROL FORWARD OF THE NEUTRAL TO BREAK THE STALL. This should be done immediately after full rudder application.

Step 5—AFTER SPIN ROTATION STOPS, NEUTRALIZE THE RUDDER.

• Some aircraft can exhibit aggravated spin behavior by design (it’s just their nature).

—Even so, what pilot-controlled actions tend to aggravate a spin?

• When is a spin most likely to occur?

• When spinning, the slip/skid ball is totally unreliable for determining spin direction.

—But what instrument does provide reliable spin direction information (upright spins)?

• In general, the sequence rudder-followed-by-elevator is important during spin recovery.

—Unless noted otherwise, how long a delay should there be between these actions?

• How do you determine if a particular airplane is approved for intentional spins?

—And is it ever permissible to intentionally spin when in the Normal category?

• What are some of the common errors made during the execution of intentional spins?

• If you inadvertently spin while cross-controlled, in what direction would you usually expect the rotation to be?
