25
When do you recover for TP stalls?
Upon definite increase in buffet, or aural, HUD, or MFD stall warnings, however briefed by AC
26
What are the three steps for TP stalls?
1. Establish landing configuration 2. Set power 3. fly simulated final turn and induce the error
27
When is recovery complete for TP stalls?
1. Descent has stopped 2. Positive, controlled climb (Alt and VVI increasing) 3. Sufficient airspeed for continued flight
28
For nose high recoveries, what is the primary consideration for power increases?
Smoothly to prevent compressor stalls and flameouts
29
For nose high recoveries, what is considered "sufficient airspeed" to recover to level flight without dipping below the horizon?
180-200 KCAS (technique)
30
For nose-low recoveries, what airspeed range gives you minimum turn radius?
250 - 400 knots (approx. corner velocity)
31
For nose-low recoveries, what amount of backstick is required?
Pull to moderate buffet or desired recovery G (4 to 5Gs normally)
32
How should airspeed be maintained on a nose-low recovery?
Adjust power and speed brakes as required to maintain airspeed between 250 and 400 knots
33
What is imperative to remember when flying aerobatics in the MOA?
Remain in VMC during all aerobatic maneuvering
