PARE: Power idle, Ailerons neutral, Rudder opposite, Elevator forward. The initial rotation that initiates a spin may result from other factors, such as incorrect control inputs or turbulence. Ailerons: Neutral. A – Ailerons The second step in the spin recovery procedure is to move the ailerons to the neutral position.

The trigger can be any external force such as a wind gust or turbulence. To understand the aircraft’s response to a disturbance, you need to understand aerodynamic stability. Placing the center of gravity ahead of the aircraft’s center of lift improves longitudinal stability. It’s very tempting to counter the roll with ailerons.

The turbulent air hits the horizontal stabilizer, which causes a vibration that can be felt throughout the aircraft. The lack of airflow over the ailerons results in a loss of control authority and mushy and ineffective controls. You should always test the stall warning system on the ground to ensure it works.
