|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Indications of an incipient spin include |
|
Definition
Oscillatory, rotating motion
Stalled AOA with stick shaker activated
Airspeed accelerating or decelerating toward a steady state value

|
Term
| During a practice OCF recovery, the PCL must be set to _______ before applying rudder to enter the OCF condition |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| At the direction of your IP |
|
|
Term
| Before preforming the OCF recovery, you should check |
|
Definition
| AOA, turn needle and airspeed |
|
|
Term
| When physically placing the controls at neutral, you should make no attempt to counteract aircraft motions (T/F) |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| If there isn't not sufficient altitude remaining (_______ AGL) and the aircraft (is/is not) recovering, an immediate ________ is recommended |
|
Definition
| 6000 feet, is not, ejection |
|
|
Term
| Recover from the unusual attitude in an OCF recovery when |
|
Definition
The A/C is nose low with no yawing motions
Once the aircraft is under control and gyrations stop
Confirmed the unusual attitude and apply the appropriate recovery procedure to return to level flight |
|
|
Term
| Erect spins are practiced with what? |
|
Definition
| Full aft stick, idle power, and full rudder applied in the direction of the spin |
|
|
Term
| Indications of a stabilized erect spin |
|
Definition
Sustained raw rate
AOA at or above 18 units
Turn needle fully deflected in the spin direction
Approx 60 degrees nose low
2-3 seconds per turn
VSI pegged at 6000 FPM (400-500 feet per turn)
Airspeed stabilized at 120-135 KIAS |
|
|
Term
| Erect spin entry procedures |
|
Definition
1.) 120 KIAS minimum to 160 KIAS
2.)15-40 deg nose high
3.) PCL idle
4.) Maintain approx 1 G
5.)Pitch trim set 1/2-3/4 nose up
6.)Entry at 80 KIAS
7.) Hold stick and rudder fully against the stop with neutral ailerons |
|
|
Term
| Recover from erect spin before |
|
Definition
| steady state spin develops (2 turns) |
|
|
Term
| The primary reason that an inverted spin happens in a T-6A is |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Characteristics of an inverted spin |
|
Definition
Approx 30 degrees nose low pitch
AOA indicating zero units
Turn needle fully deflected in spin direction
Airspeed is indicating 40 KIAS
Accelerometer is indicating -1.5 Gs |
|
|
Term
| During an inverted spin, reducing the power to ________ during the first two spins will typically result in spin termination w/o applying inverted spin recovery procedures |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Inverted recovery procedures |
|
Definition
Gear, flaps and speed brake- retracted
PCL- Idle
Rudder- Full opposite to turn needle deflection
Control Stick- Aft of neutral (up to full aft if necessary)
5.) Smoothly recover to level flight after rotation stops |
|
|
Term
| (T/F) A spiral is often mistaken for a spin. Applying anti-spin controls may not be effective in arresting a spiral and may actually aggravate the situation. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Spirals are characterized by |
|
Definition
Nose low attitude
Rapidly increasing airspeed (through 160 KIAS)
AOA is less that 18. |
|
|
Term
| Typically, spirals feel (more/less) violent that a spin |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Spiral recovery procedures |
|
Definition
Execute OCF boldface
Ejection recommended if encountering a spiral below 6000 AGL and recovery is not imminent |
|
|
Term
| Stability demonstration procedures |
|
Definition
Airspeed-160 KIAS
Power- 60% Torque
Pitch - 45 degrees
As airspeed approaches 80 KIAS recover the AC by selecting IDLE power and neutralizing controls |
