Out-Of-Control Flight Manuevers

CHAPTER TWO

T-34C OUT-OF-CONTROL FLIGHT

stalled AOA is realized, the aircraft will depart with a rapid, nose-low roll in the

direction of applied rudder. Several more rapid rolls may result and a spin will

develop if control inputs are maintained. Post-departure recovery will be

accomplished quickly and easily by neutralizing the controls. Minimum entry

altitude for cross-control departure is 8000 feet AGL.

Procedures

Establish the aircraft in 100 KIAS level flight, clean configuration.

ii.

Perform stall checklist and clearing turn.

iii.

Roll out of the clearing turn, reduce power to 200 ft-lbs. and set 100 KIAS best

glide attitude.

(a). Roll 45 AOB in either direction.

(b). Simultaneously:

(1). Reduce power toward idle.

(2). Increase back stick pressure while applying slight aileron toward the

lower wing.

(3). Input top rudder.

iv.

Increase control inputs until the aircraft departs controlled flight.

CAUTION

The possibility of overstressing the aircraft at airspeeds less than

VA (135 KIAS at maximum gross weight) exists due to VA

decreasing as gross weight decreases. The combination of this

lower VA at lower gross weights and asymmetrical loading

encountered during cross-control departures may overstress the

aircraft. Cross-control departures SHALL NOT be executed at

airspeeds in excess of 120 KIAS.

NOTE

Departure will be in the direction of applied rudder.

IUT will assume control of the aircraft and recover in accordance with OCF

Recovery Procedures.
