The aerobatics instructor who led me through a spin/UA session in a Citabria admitted getting sick after riding on a swinging inverter ship with his daughter.

BTW, the disparagement of someone who openly states to use an airplane to have a comfortable trip from A to B without any need for intentional stalls, unusual attitudes or g forces is beyond my comprehension.

You really don't need an aerobatic experience to deal with stalls, I've successfully stalled and recovered in the following:

Pa28
C172
C182
PA32R
TB20

If you keep the thing in balance it's not particularly scary or uncomfortable, but is clear that the aeroplane is in an undesirable attitude and that action is needed.

The action is straight forward. Firmly and smoothly lower the nose a bit, add power (full power with PA28 or C172, but perhaps cruise power with bigger beasties) and finally level the wings.

A little bit of practice will ensure you can do it easily enough.

Unusual attitudes is more difficult especially under hood or foggles.

First get a clear picture of what's happening, that's usually steep climbing turn with no power, or spiral dive with lots of power.

Add or subtract power as appropriate, gently raise or lower the nose to stop the altimeter whizzing round and then level the wings. Finally beat the examiner around the head with sticks for abusing your aeroplane:E

Do it that way and it is the instructor that will be beating YOU round the head - if you have any wings left on that is! Power, ROLL to wings level, then pitch :ugh:

No one has said that you do.

:mad::ugh: You are right of course! Silly me....better go out and do some practice... and a few holds and an RNAV and an ILS or two :\

Oh, have a sense of humour. I would have let it happen and then chuckled as we discussed IMC recovery from the scenario just created (assuming the wings are still there) . :)

Which is fine until someone else follows that technique! :rolleyes::eek:
