The fii was was doing a demo at the time so he recovered it by applying power in fact red line power until it started recovering. I still to this day don`t know if I was meant to take control off him before he did it or what. We knocked it on the head that day after that and got the engineers to check the plane out when we got back. They checked the rigging and found nothing wrong. Ever since then I have stayed well away from stalling in a steep turn. I presume they test the stalling up to 30deg bank. Anything more than that and your on your tod. In C of A test flights we only have to do up to 30 degs for the stick push function test.
The othere one was getting caught in mountain wave to the north of the cairgorm did a 160 back towards the spey and got out of it.
The third was in the works machine with wind shear on approach in imc and just did the training for that event. Including turning off the engine protection systems and getting 105% out of them both. Thought i had just burned half a million worth of engines but it turned out because we hadn`t exceeded the exhaust gas temp limits all that was required was a program of SOAP sampling, both engines were fine.
