INVERTED SPIN RECOVERY
In this video we take a look at an Inverted Spin
entry and recovery as part of the final training
mission of the
3-Day 5-Mission Emergency Maneuver Training
Course. At this point in the training, the
client has participated in extensive ground
training and successfully practiced recovery
techniques from all upset / emergency flight
condition situations to include; stalls,
cross-controlled stalls, unusual attitudes,
rolling upsets, wake turbulence encounters,
over-banks, spiral dives, incipient spins,
normal upright spins, aggravated / accelerated /
flat spins as well as the completion of a
variety of basic aerobatics to develop flight
envelope recognition and recovery skills. The
inverted spin is challenging because of the
strange flight attitude of being upside down
"spinning" towards the ground while hanging from
the straps.
In this recovery, it is important to
emphasize that the recovery from all
spins (in aircraft that are
recoverable) is exactly the same
with the exception of the direction
of movement of the control column.
For the inverted spin, the control
column moves "aft through neutral"**
as opposed to the "forward through
neutral" requirement in the upright
spin. Everything else remains the
same. For a more detailed

Detailed Information on
Inadvertent Upright or Inverted Spin Recovery
Please
take a moment to a look at the Inverted Spin Recovery
Video below. Note its strict adherence to the
P.A.R.E. recovery technique. The P.A.R.E. recovery
procedure is designed to achieve optimum anti-spin
effect and is consistent with recommendations
based on years of detailed spin research (the
bold quotations indicate the verbal statements
required during the actual recovery while airborne):
-
“Power”
Idle
- “Ailerons”
Neutral (and Flaps Up) {when in doubt,
Control Stick “Release”}
- “Rudder” Full
Opposite Yaw Direction
-
“Elevator” Aft Through Neutral (for the
Inverted Spin**)
HOLD THESE
INPUTS UNTIL YAW ROTATION STOPS, THEN:
- “Rudder" Neutral
-
"Elevator" Aft to Recover Straight ahead
to a Climbing Attitude. Add power in Climb.
NOTE: Techniques and considerations listed on
this page should not be interpreted as
over-riding or replacing recovery techniques
listed in your Aircraft Operating Instructions
or Flight Manual.
