3.6 Spin Recovery __________________________________
If the motorglider spins unintentionally, the following procedures are
recommended (for both glider-configuration and powered-configuration):
1.
Rudder DEFLECT in the direction
opposite to the spin
2.
Ailerons NEUTRAL
3.
Elevator RELEASE back-pressure or
PUSH slightly forward
4.
Throttle IDLE
5.
End of spin and end of stall WAIT
6.
Rudder NEUTRAL (as soon as the spin
has stopped)
7.
A/C with elevator PULL-OUT of dive with caution
Warning: Altitude-loss from start of the spin-recovery to level-flight
may be 330 ft / 100 m
Warning: Recovery from the spin with flaps in landing-configuration
can cause structural damage. If the A/C spins with flaps in
landing-configuration, retract flaps to NEUTRAL and use
standard procedure of spin-recovery.
Caution: If the A/C spins with a running engine, set the throttle to
IDLE.
Caution: With a forward CG-position, the spin can start a spiral-dive.
Recover from spiral-dive using the standard procedures.
Note: With a rear CG-position, the spin is accompanied by
periodical pitch movements with about one oscillation per
turn.
