Will a NASA Standard Spin Recovery (P.A.R.E.) effectively work in an incipient spin in a Normal Category airplane if initiated before one-turn of rotation?

Possibly if done expeditiously however, it could allow enough time for a spin to develop and it may be unrecoverable from the spin

Always

Never

In reference to the Coefficient of Lift (CL) curve, is the CL value a function of airspeed or AOA?

AOA

Airspeed

Neither one

During a rolling wake turbulence upset, will unloading the wing improve the ability of the ailerons to counter the rolling moment generated by the wake turbulence?

Yes

No

What are the three most common ways pilots can end up in overbanked spiral dives?

Disorientation, distraction and primary AI failure

Looking one way while turning the other direction, traffic avoidance and inadvertent IFR

In-cockpit passenger/crew conversations, scud running and terrain avoidance maneuvering

If you encounter a spin, if your airplane has a published spin recovery procedure, should you use that procedure instead of the NASA Standard Spin Recovery technique?

Yes

No. The NASA method is always superior.
