I'm sorry to step back down the thread here, but a question please to clear something up for my simple brain! I fly a variable geometry swept wing military jet (not a Flogger), and was a bit confused about Old Smokey's
Approach to stall ...where it’s RAPIDLY correct wing drop with roll control
Now I can understand that thinking with my toy as we have no ailerons and the spoilers should do the trick on the other wing I guess; then again the downwash on the taileron will be a nightmare - I hate knock-on effects
. Nevertheless, I always thought that as soon as unintentional wing drop occurred , the AoA on that side wing increases. Is it not true that dropping an aileron (increasing your effective camber (cue FMS)) will further increase your AoA of the downgoing wing. Which I always thought was detrimental for lift?
Just for information, when we get towards the stall, wings level unloading seems to do the trick. Actually did the 'trial' once when a little disorientated during a fight, and can confirm that technique does work to below HUD reading speed (50 kts). Avoided use of the rudder then too. Probably best to avoid that regime with passengers however!
Finally, we have a hopeless, no visual simulator where I am at the moment, but I still think that there is benefit from going through the procedures required approaching the stall. Notwithstanding the valid comments about realism and simulator performance envelope, if nothing else, one can practice the cadence of the recovery. I really can't see there being too many negatives in that - and at least if you have to do it for real, it won't be for the first (and consequently perhaps last) time.
Looking forward to the help!
