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 counteract adverse yaw by applying rudder in the direction of the turn. The amount of rudder required depends on roll rate and airspeed. Airspeed and attitude change constantly, and we must change rudder input along with them. We apply right rudder to counteract the left-turning tendencies.

For heading corrections of five degrees or less, keep the wings level and use rudder pressure to change the heading. To enter a constant airspeed climb, raise the nose to bring the miniature airplane the predetermined position above the horizon bar. Adjustments of the climb attitude will be dictated by the indicated airspeed.

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.

Alongside a nearby highway, some recognizable bits of airplane, the vertical stabilizer and rudder, a horizontal stabilizer and elevator, fell separately to Earth. The breakup started with rudder flutter. Flutter is a dangerous, complex, dynamic aeroelastic phenomenon dependent on true airspeed. The pilot died instantly.

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.
