Term
The three phases of OCF are:
Definition
Poststall gyrations
Incipient Spins
Steady-state spins
Term
OCF is any condition in which the aircraft does not _____ ______ and ______ to flight controls.
Definition
respond immediately; properly
Term
OCF can be induced by:
Definition
Uncoordinated flight
Improper control inputs
structural damage
Term
Indications of poststall gyrations include:
Definition
loss of control effectiveness
stalled or near stalled AOA with stick shaker activated
Transient or erratic airspeed indications
Random turn needle indications
Term
Indications of an incipient spin are:
Definition
Oscillatory, rotating motion
Stalled AIA with stick shaker activated
Airspeed accelerating or decelerating toward the steady-state value
Turn needle fully deflected in the direction of rotation
Term
You will recover from an OCF condition when ____
Definition
the IP tells you to do so
Term
Out of control recovery is
Definition
PCL IDLE
Controls Neutral
Altitude Check
Term
If there is enough altitude left, what should you do if you are still in OCF?
Definition
Apply the boldface again or perform the spin recovery procedure
Term
Who is the one person who will most likely dip and fly and doesn't know the difference between races, i.e. calls all races ethnonians?
Definition
Yes
Term
A steady state spin occurs when?
Definition
OCF is encountered and either the OCF recovery is not accomplished or is unsuccessful
Term
For both practice and inadvertent OCF entries, you should check:
Definition
AOA
turn needle
airspeed
Term
Erect spins are practiced with ___ stick, ______ power, and ____ rudder __ ___ ____ ___ ___ _____.
Definition
full aft, idle, full, in the direction of the spin
Term
Erect spin characteristics:
Definition
Sustained yaw rate
AOA at or above 18 units with stick shaker
turn needle fully deflected in spin direction
approx. 60 degrees nose low
2-3 sec per turn
VSI reading 6000 FPM descent
Airspeed 120-135 KIAS
Term
Intentional inverted spin entries are _____.
Definition
prohibited
Term
Inverted spin characteristics:
Definition
Pitch 30 degrees nose low
AOA = 0 units
Turn needle fully deflected in the spin direction
Airspeed indicator reading 40 KIAS
Accelerometer indication negative 1.5 Gs
Term
A spiral is often mistaken as a
Definition
spin
Term
Anti-spin controls may not be effective in arresting a spiral and may actually
Definition
aggravate the situation
Term
A spiral is characterized by:
Definition
-A nose low attitude with rapidly increasing airspeed
-AOA gauge will indicate less than 18 AOA
Term
Are spins more violent than spirals?
Definition
No; spirals are more violent than spins
Term
To enter the stability demonstration maneuver:
Definition
accelerate to 160 Kias and raise nose to 45 degrees nose high
Term
Holding a ____ G loading for over ____ seconds can cause _____ _____ and possible _____ _____, regardless of oil pressure indications.
Definition
0; 5; engine damage; engine failure
Term
During a practice OCF entry, you must set the PCL to IDLE
Definition
before applying rudder
Term
How do you know that neutral controls are becoming effective in eliminating an OCF condition?
Definition
Yaw rate decreases and nose pitches down
Term
What are the two categories of spins?
Definition
Erect and inverted
Term
IS turn needle deflection used to determine the difference between a spiral and a spin?
Definition
No
Term
What is the practice entry spin speed?
Definition
80 KIAS
Term
To recover from inverted spin: gear , flaps, and speed brake - _______, PCl - _______ apply ____ rudder opposite the turn needle, and _______
Definition
retracted; idle; full; stick aft of neutral (up to full aft may be used)
