The Slip/Skid Departure Demo

CHAPTER TWO

T-34C OUT-OF-CONTROL FLIGHT

iii.

IUT shall report altitude, AOA, airspeed, and turn needle following spiral entry.

iv.

OCF IP will maintain pro spiral control inputs until airspeed has reached 120

knots, but no greater than 150 knots.

Initiate OCF Recovery Procedures upon IUT recognition of spiral or no later

than airspeed reaching 150 knots, or 7000 feet AGL (whichever occurs first).

This maneuver is a demonstration only and will not be performed by the IUT.

vi.

Recover from ensuing unusual altitude.

NOTE

Recovery airspeeds will be in excess of 200 knots with recovery

initiated at 150 knots.

CAUTIONS

Failure to initiate recovery by 150 knots will result in

extremely rapid airspeed buildup and high rates of descent. The

possibility of asymmetrical "G" loading during the pullout exists

due to the extremely disorienting effects felt during a spiral

recovery.

Care must be taken not to overspeed the flaps.

The Slip/Skid Departure Demo

Description: This maneuver demonstrates the characteristics of the stall and

departure of the aircraft in a slip and skid.

General: The maneuver lets the IUT analyze the AOA and departure airspeeds under

different flight conditions (i.e., slip versus skid and accelerated versus unaccelerated).

The maneuver emphasizes the reason we fly the aircraft in a slip vice skid and how

acceleration will affect the airspeed at departure. Fly the slip demo first, climb back

to altitude, and repeat for skid.

NOTE

This maneuver is demonstration only and will not be performed by

the IUT. The IUT will focus on various AOAs and airspeeds

throughout the maneuver.
