Loss of control recovery
LOMCEVAC
I would welcome your comments adverse or otherwise on this:
There have been multiple threads about loss of control including the use of simulators.
May I suggest that any simulator can be used to practice the correct recovery drill following loss of control because the drill is not type dependant no matter how any aircraft or simulator behaves when control is lost.
The corect common recovery technique involves
1. Unloading the wing (stop pulling or trimming back thereby reducing the AOA to a low value well below the stalling angle) only then
2. Use rudder to get the ball roughly centre after which use aileron to level the wings
3. Ease, repeat ease, out of the resulting dive or climb
While going through these steps it is common sense to close the throttle if the nose is low and add power if the nose is high.
Clearly the presence of the ground could require the pullout to be firmer but no more than to the edge of the buffet.
