If I may add that the question, made by JAA, says
"why we use a rudder to pick up a wing". So in their mind (and mine too) you should use the rudder to "pick up" the wing. Also remember that the question is made for commercial aviation (G/A?), not supersonic fighters that may have completly different aerodynamics.
I'm completely with Slasher on this one.
Stan - you wont get into a spin if use use the rudder to the correct side. If the A/C drops the left wing, there is no way you enter a spin if you use right rudder (and have the ailerons centered). However, if you by mistake use left rudder you'd most likely spin if the A/C is prone to spin (eg. the Socata TB-series).
It's worth noting that most light A/C won't spin at all. Try and get a C172 to spin - it's almost impossible. When doing my CPL I did some spin excercises in the C172 and tried
everything. Power on, nose 30 deg ANU, crossed controls and what did it do?.. Stalled nicely rolled a little bit, dropped the nose and the came out a couple of hundred feets lower at a 90 deg offset course. I did get it to spin though (1 1/2 turns
) and as soon I let go of the crossed controlls it came out nicely.
The CAA
wants to see you using the rudder to pick up the wing when you do your CAA-check.
