Common Errors

Failure to raise the nose high enough during the first 45 of turn. Generally, this will

result in a correspondingly nose low attitude and proportionally high airspeed when

recovery is made.

Improperly coordinating the rate of roll with the rate of pitch. An insufficient roll rate

will result in an overshoot of the intended recovery heading while an excessive roll

rate will result in an undershoot. A common tendency is to allow the roll rate to

accelerate after passing the inverted position.

Failure to maintain balanced flight. Too much or too little rudder will produce

essentially the same results as too fast or too slow a rate of roll, respectively.

Failing to scan ahead for the reference point and/or section line and thereby losing

orientation.
