Quizzes Spin Endorsement Spin Quiz Check your underpinning knowledge for the spin endorsement per CASA Part 61 MOS FAE-8. NameEmail 1 / 15 What is the Beggs-Mueller spin recovery action and its limitations for the Super Decathlon? Close the throttle and centralise the controls. That does not work for the Super Decathlon. Close the throttle, let go of the stick and apply full opposite rudder. It does not work for some spin modes in the Super Decathlon and many other types. Close the throttle and let go of the controls. Applies to all aircraft. 2 / 15 What height is typically required to enter and recover to level flight from a normal spin? 800 ft 800 ft for a one turn spin and 300 ft for every additional turn. 1000 ft 500 ft 3 / 15 What is the number of turns normally required for spin recovery in the a Super Decathlon? One turn. One and a half turns, It may take up to one turn. 4 / 15 What is the standard spin recovery technique for the Super Decathlon? Full opposite rudder and full forward stick. Power off, aileron neutral, full opposite rudder then elevator positively to neutral. Power off, aileron neutral, full opposite rudder then full down elevator.. Power off, aileron neutral, full opposite rudder then neutralise elevator. 5 / 15 What instrument indications can be reliabily used to confirm the direction of a spin? Slip ball. Airspeed indicator. Rate of turn indicator. Turn co-ordinator. 6 / 15 How would you identify the difference between an upright and an inverted spin? Upright spin will have full back stick and an inverted spin will have full forward stick. Indications of negative G such as dirt from the floor and shoulder straps floating up indicate an inverted spin. 7 / 15 What factors may lead to a flat spin? Select all that apply. Extreme aft CG. Power on. Aileron applied. Aileron applied outspin only. 8 / 15 How would you identify whether the aircraft is in a spin and a spiral dive? Select all that apply. A stable spin is at low and constant airspeed. A spiral dive has high and increasing airspeed. A spiral dive may commence at low speed. 9 / 15 What effect does CG have on a spin? Select all that apply. Forward CG tends to be spin resistant and likely to result in a spiral dive. Aft CG tends to reduce spin resistance and make it easier to enter a spin. Aft CG, especially behind the rear limit, can result in a flat spin. 10 / 15 What causes a spin? Stall with crossed controls. Stall with yaw. Stall with rudder. 11 / 15 In spin recovery the rudder has what effect (in general, for most aircraft types) and why is forward stick used? Rudder stops the spin rotation. Elevator to unstall the wing. Both opposite rudder and forward stick are required to stop the spin rotation. Rudder slows the spin rotation. Elevator to push the nose down to increase airspeed. 12 / 15 Moving the stick forward before applying rudder can have what effects during spin recovery for some tail designs? Will blanket the rudder and delay or prevent spin recovery. Will blanket the rudder and aid the spin. Will blanket the rudder, accelerate the spin and delay or prevent recovery. 13 / 15 Which of the following is most likely to cause a spin when at or near the stall? Left aileron, right rudder and full back stick. Neutral aileron, yawing with right rudder and full back stick. Left aileron, right rudder and neutral elevator. 14 / 15 What are the actions required to recover from a wing drop at the point of stall in a medium level turn to the left? Move the stick forward to remove all indications of a stall Move the stick forward to remove all indications of a stall and apply rudder to pick up the dropped wing Apply forward movement of the control column to unstall the wing. − Apply rudder to prevent the nose of the aeroplane yawing into the direction of the dropped wing. − The ailerons should be held neutral until the stall is broken and control is regained, when the wings should be levelled using coordinated inputs. − Apply power and adopt an attitude to minimise further height loss. With experience, power may be introduced earlier in the recovery sequence. Apply full throttle, stick forward to unstall the wing and rudder to prevent yaw 15 / 15 What are the actions required to recover from a wing drop at the point of stall in a climb with full throttle? Move the stick forward to remove all indications of a stall Apply forward movement of the control column to unstall the wing. − Apply rudder to prevent the nose of the aeroplane yawing.
