@BOAC:
New UAS QRH drill - 'Deploy the bat'
A nice variation on the old gag about Unusual Attitudes recovery.
IF you think your attitude gyro has tumbled:
1. Drop a cat and see which way it lands. (Cats always land on their feet.)
2. Where the cat's feet end up is down.
3. Roll aircraft to wings level based on FARG (Feline Attitude Reference Gyro)
(Who needs laser ring gyros, eh? Wait, a bean counter might be reading this ...

Something about
Shave the Bat rings a bell. This must be included in aviation vernacular, but I'm not sure what practice it ought to be applied to.
"Captain Pteropine sure shaved the bat on that one!"
