Too much back pressure could ruin your whole day. Like Bart said; Wings level, wings level, wings level...(using the gages, not our senses!) trim & pitch stability will be working for us once the wings are level Dan H ----- Original Message ----- From: Roy Stubbs <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: robertbartunek <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ; [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 2:13 PM Subject: RE: [ercoupe-tech] Re: Turn coordinator In the increasing airspeed descent one should reduce power before adding back pressure on the controls...

Problem is, you will probably follow your instincts and not believe the instruments. It's called vertigo. If you can concentrate on the turn and bank, airspeed and vertical velocity, you can recover from even an extreme nose high or nose low unusual attitude. For example, if in a descent, roll to center the needle and add back pressure until the altimeter reverses direction, then neutralize the elevator control. You should be in a slight climb. Keep the needle centered and fly the VVI and altimeter to return to level flight. Keep the needle centered. For a nose high unusual attitude, determined by an increasing altimeter reading, center the needle and neutralize the elevator control and hold firmly. Keep the needle centered. I don't care if you are going straight up, the aircraft will slow and pitch gently to a nose low attitude from which you can recover using the nose low procedure described above. Keep the needle centered. Have I mentioned keeping the needle centered? Piece of pie. Bart ________________________________ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
