Recovery is made by lowering the nose, simultaneously applying full power while maintaining directional control with coordinated use of aileron and rudder. Because the airplane is not fully stalled, the pitch attitude only needs to be lowered to the point where minimum controllable airspeed, and thus control effectiveness, is regained.

We correct for the overbanking tendency with aileron opposite the turn. However, the aircraft tends to overbank at a low airspeed or when the bank angle is steep. The aileron on the right wing deflects down, increasing the camber and creating more lift. The left wing’s aileron deflects up, decreasing lift.

Pilots must use specific techniques, applying rudder and aileron inputs, to maintain directional control and keep the aircraft aligned. Can cause sudden losses or gains in indicated airspeed (IAS), directly affecting lift. Effects: It will try to push your aeroplane sideways off the runway centreline.

“A few seconds later the airplane data showed a maneuver consistent with an aileron roll followed by a rapid descent about 1,000 feet before regaining its prior altitude and track above the highway.” I did my first aileron roll in an RV-4.

Now the T-38 would roll twice per second, a 720-degree-per-second roll rate, and I aileron-rolled it five or six times right over the cloud deck, the coolest visual ever, and then rolled out. I deserved the taunting; doing aileron rolls like that and getting discombobulated was my own fault. No one did that, by the way. What About You?

It was a beefed up, militarized version of the Beechcraft Bonanza with a narrowed fuselage and conventional tail, seating two pilots in tandem cockpits with controls and indicators configured similarly to tactical aircraft of the period. The Navy’s primary trainer was the T-34B.
