T-6A CONTACT

At the stall (recognized by visible nose drop or uncommanded roll), smoothly increase to

full rudder in the desired direction of spin while applying full aft stick (ailerons neutral).

Maintain these spin control inputs.

As the aircraft enters the incipient spin phase, over the ICS, begin continuously calling out:

AOA

Airspeed

Turn needle fully deflected left. Figure 5-9

Upon reaching steady state (as verified by spin indications) or 12,500 feet MSL, initiate the

recovery by first applying full rudder opposite the turn needle. Position control stick forward of

neutral (ailerons neutral).

NOTE

Recovery is initiated with reference to cockpit indications,

independent of outside references or number of turns

accomplished.

Hold recovery inputs until rotation stops, then momentarily neutralize the flight controls.

10. Recover from the nose low attitude by checking wings level and initiating a straight pull to

the horizon (avoid secondary stalls and do not exceed aircraft G limitations).
