SUBJECT: ATA 27 - STALL RECOVERY PROCEDURE
CLASSIFICATION: AIRWORTHINESS
AFFECTED AIRCRAFT: This FOT is applicable to all Airbus aircraft
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice: This FOT covers an operational issue.
It is the Operators' responsibility to distribute this FOT
or the information contained in this FOT to all flight crews
without delay.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. PURPOSE
Recent industry events have drawn attention to the importance of appropriate pilot reaction
in the case of stall.
This FOT informs all Airbus aircraft operators of the publication of a temporary revision (TR)
to modify the stall recovery procedure.
2. DESCRIPTION
Reduction of the angle of attack must be the first immediate action upon stall recognition
(aural stall warning, buffet,_).
Therefore a nose down pitch order must be applied.
When stall indications have stopped, the flight crew can smoothly increase the thrust as
needed to increase the energy and recover the initial flight path.
Minimizing the loss of altitude is secondary to the reduction of the angle of attack.
This procedure is a memory item.
