Procedures for recovery from OCF 1.8.1.10.9.2
INSTRUCTOR NOTES
Obviously, a departure and spin are out-of control (OCF)
situations. Following, is the entire NATOPS DEPARTURE/SPIN
PROCEDURES CHECKLIST. Note, unless a spin is
encountered, only items 1-4 and 10 will apply. Also note that it
can sometimes be ambiguous as to whether or not a real
departure has occurred. This checklist presupposes that a
definitive departure has happened, which results in an
appropriate need to extend the speed brakes and reduce the
throttle to IDLE. During other OCF circumstances, a flight
situation may be encountered that requires different pilot
actions. By example, the nose may be very high and the aircraft
rapidly losing airspeed. Obviously, extending the speed brakes
is not, then, appropriate. BOTTOM LINE: Pilots must
ANALYZE each unique OCF situation, and the PROPER
CORRECTIVE ACTION. Emphasize the detailed discussions in
NATOPS Chapter 11, Flight Characteristics.
