Stall&Spin
1. Enrollment Prerequisites Students enrolling in this flight module must possess flight
experience as PIC in fixed wing aircraft. Due to Japanese aviation rules, students who want to
have flight training must possess at least a private pilot certificate of JCAB and a current
medical certificate. However all students who does not possess Japanese certificate will
experience what they learned in ground instruction through maneuver demonstration in actual
flight.
2. Maneuver Demonstration Objectives The student should obtain the aeronautical knowledge
and experience necessary to meet the requirements for stall/spin awareness training as specified
in FAR Part 61, Sections 61.97, 61.105, 61.125 and 61.187, and as outlined in Advisory Circular
61-67B, Stall and Spin Awareness Training.
3. Lesson 1. 1.0 Hours Ground Instruction, 0.7 Hours Maneuver Demonstration
A. Objective: Basic aerodynamic principles will be reviewed, and the student will be
familiarized with the mechanics of stall and spin. The student will be introduced to in-flight
coordination exercise, turns, slow flight, power on and power off stalls, and prolonged
stalled flight. The student will recognize imminent spins and prevent occurrence of spins.
CONTENT:
(1) Detailed preflight discussion, with extensive use of chalkboard illustrations and a model
airplane.
(2) Climbing Dutch Rolls
a) Demonstrate adverse yaw
b) Develop visual reference over the nose at the wing tips
c) Develop control feel and interaction of aileron and rudder inputs
(3) Turns
a) Demonstrate the actual turn process
b) Identify the primary role of elevator inputs during turns
c) Develop visual scan for traffic
d) Demonstrate the role of ailerons once turns have begun
e) Emphasize coordination of aileron and rudder when changing the bank
(4) Slow Flight
a) Identify the role of pitch and power for airspeed and altitude control
b) Demonstrate increased yaw effects due to power as airspeed decreases
c) Emphasize the role of rudder inputs and proper coordination
d) Develop visual attitude references over the nose and at the wing tips
e) Perform turns holding selected airspeed and altitudes
(5) Power on & Power Off Stalls
a) Develop a kinesthetic sense of the stall at different power setting
b) Perform stalls with visual references over the nose and at the wing tips
c) Identify the role of proper coordination at the onset of stalled flight
d) Perform stall recoveries with minimum attitude loss, avoiding secondary stalls
e) Identify the role of elevator position and movement for stall recovery
f) Identify the adverse impact aileron inputs can have in the stall
g) Demonstrate the difference between angle of attack and attitude
(6) Rudder Stall Exercise
a) Perform stalls with delayed recoveries, maintaining heading with rudder inputs
b) Demonstrate the role of rudder to prevent spin entry during stalled flight
B. Completion Standards. At the completion of this lesson, the student should display an
understanding of turns and the effects of slow flight. The student should achieve the ability
to recognize stall indications and make safe, prompt recoveries.
4. Lesson 2. 2.0 Hours Ground Instruction, 0.7 Hours Maneuver Demonstration
A. Objective. The student will develop an understanding of spin dynamics, the adverse effect
inappropriate control inputs can have on spin recovery and stall/spin awareness during
critical flight operations in the traffic pattern, as well as understanding of spirals and spiral
recovery. The student will recover from inadvertent spins entered from unusual attitudes
implementing the PARE® spin recovery procedure.

airplane.
(2) One- and Two-turn Spins Left & Right
a) Perform clearing turns
b) Demonstrate the spin entry & recovery process
c) Spin configuration—power off, ailerons neutral, 1G deceleration to entry speed
d) Emphasize sequencing of rudder and elevator inputs
e) Stress smooth pull-out, staying within Normal category design limits
(3) Spin Orientation
a) Select ground references prior to the spin entry
b) Look for and identify ground reference during spins
c) Apply recovery input based on references to recover on specified headings
d) Note altitude loss during spins
(4) Spin Dynamics
a) Develop the PARE® spin recovery procedure
b) Discuss importance of critical rudder/elevator sequence
c) Emphasize different spin test requirements for different airplane categories
d) Importance of operating within specified design limitations
(5) Selected Aggravated Spin Modes
a) Demonstrate inappropriate power, aileron and elevator inputs during spins
b) Observe changes in spin characteristics due to improper inputs
c) Note recovery actions used to stop rotation following aggravated spin modes
(6) Unusual Attitudes—Spin Recoveries
a) Perform inadvertent spin entries from unusual attitudes
b) Implement the PARE® procedure for recovery when directed by the instructor
c) Verbalize (call-out) recovery actions as they are performed
d) Verify correct control positions during recovery
(7) Postflight Critique and an overall discussion with a question-and-answer session
incipient
B. Completion Standards. At the completion of this lesson, the student should display an
understanding of stall/spin awareness relative to critical flight operations in the traffic
pattern. The student should achieve the ability to recognize and recover from imminent
stall/spin and incipient spins.
