- Summary
-
Summary: Because large airplanes of the transport and bomber categories have been reported to have spun inadvertently, the available information on the subject has been reviewed. Results of model tests, as well as reports of full-scale-airplane spins, were considered. It is concluded that large airplanes should not be intentionally spun because these aircraft are not designed for the loads and speeds that may be encountered in the spin and recovery. If a large airplane is stalled, wither inadvertently or for familiarization purposes, the pilot should apply sufficient down elevator to relieve the stall at the very first sign of stalling. The throttles should be closed if the airplane has started to roll off into a turn and the nose has dropped appreciably. Even after the airplane has rolled off on a wing, the pilot can regain control by promptly moving the stick forward and then using all three controls to return t level flight.
