Unusual attitude training in the simulator takes less than ten minutes on no motion. Firstly turn off the visuals in order to simulate dark night IMC.
Conduct aileron rolls from 20 degrees nose up through 360 degrees of roll with accent on full control wheel against the stops accompanied by slight forward pressure known as un-loading.
Freeze the simulator at the near inverted position to allow the pilot under training to take his time to study instrument indications. Discuss flight instrument indications – sky pointer indication etc. After completion of that part of the training have the instructor demonstrate recovery from nose high.
Gently pitch to extreme 45-50 degree nose high attitude requiring a roll to the nearest horizon in order to regain lost airspeed. Brief that if full aileron ineffective to get nose to drop use rudder carefully to drop the nose. The next sequence is nose low spiral recovery using speed brake and thrust lever closed if excessive speed increase.
Control force fidelity cannot be reproduced of course. But as most loss of control is in IMC and/or night, it suggests the key to successful unusual attitude recovery is basic raw data instrument flying skill. Briefings, power point demonstrations and general discussion on UA training are fine; but there is nothing like hands-on practice in the simulator. Simulator costs for ten minutes are minimal for such a vital flight safety sequence.
The simulator instructor must be competent to personally "patter" his demonstrations. A picture is worth a thousand words. Use the simulator as your picture.
