If you end up in this predicament, you really ought to be asking some searching questions.....
The Standard Spin Recovery drill as taught by CFS (for RAF trg ac) is:
Check Ht (above Min Ht to commence Rec'y, MHCR)
Throttle Closed
Check Turn needle Direction
Apply full rudder to OPPOSE needle
Pause (for as long as it takes to say 'pause')
Control Column Centrally Fwd until spin stops
Centralise Rudder
Ease of of dive.
Know the spin recovery actions for your ac.
Some points to bear in mind:
- We use an MHCR of 3000agl+2000' and would abandon the ac if <MHCR in a VMC spin
- If IMC, then you're more than likely to be 'easing out of dive' on Limited Panel Instruments (as your Attitude Indicator/Artificial Horizon will almost certainly be toppled)
Not a nice situation to be in (just listen to that guy's voice!)- prevention is very definately better than cure - don't mess around in or near cloud if you're not suitably able to deal with all eventualities.
