This is me doing an inverted spin and recovery in an Extra 300. I stand by my previous comments and have nothing to add.

I believe you; that Brisbane scenery's great.

Hi All, yesterday I started a Page/Database of aircraft accidents and posted 3 to start with, however, I feel a bit iffy about doing them this way. The objective is to create a learning tool to help keep everyone safer and hopefully improve one's flying skills through interactive discussion of the accident. There is a lot of work in adding each record and i don't want to limit it to just Australian accidents as there is the Accidents and Incidents Forum where you guys post these.

 

So, I have removed the Accidents Page/Database and have commenced talks with a very high calibre IPS software developer to create something similar to the old Aviation News section we use have but specifically for aircraft accidents from all around the world. This way we have an automated system to list accidents that can be discussed in a non-public area of the site. It will take a little while for it to be developed, and it won't be cheap, but i think it will be worth it.

 

For those that don't know how we did Aviation News in the past here are some screen shots of the News Reader from many years ago...I don't know at this stage if it will end being like this but it will be developed to achieve the desired objective.

 

What's happened to the regular Aircraft Accidents and Incidents?

We've had two duplicates already, when there is a heap of lead up information already in threads ready to refer to. 

Many Aircraft Accidents and incidents take months and sometimes years before we get the final report, so we need that histpry in one place and intact.

Overseas accidents and RPT accidents would be fine in a news section, but they usually don't provide useful information to us because the rules and conditions are different. If they are mixed in with Australian accidents there's enough confusion between jurisidictions to make the whole subject confusing, and send people elsewhere looking for Australian discussions.

This incident was not like that, they seemed to completely ignore or were totally oblivious to the danger staring them in the face. They have no 'excuse'. Clear air and height one way and thick cloud and little height the other way. 

I agree, you could see the cloud ready to suck them in, and the obvious escapes, yet they kept on ignoring warning after warning.

This is quite often the pattern before a powered aircraft hits an unexpected lump of cloud or the rock inside it, which is depicted in ATSB/NTSB reports where there are survivors. Under normal circumstances they would keep the correct distance from cloud, but where there are breaks in the cloud they seem to assume the breaks will continue in an even pattern, and mostly they do. Months or years later they feature in a Report.

Triple fail, Turbo. The first fail was that you missed the comment in my original post that was wrong, and, if followed, actually could have caused a problem if someone followed it. I said to recover from a stall by, all at once, applying full power, aileron neutral and release back pressure. In fact, according to the FAA, you should move the stick forward (if you are not inverted) THEN apply full power. They said that the reason for applying the controls in that order was so that one was not tempted to try and maintain altitude with the elevators and still break the stall. So, the correct order or actions is the opposite the the order that I presented. I also suspect that anther reason to move the stick forward before applying power is that it is important to avoid applying more power before moving the stick forward. If you apply power before moving the stick forward, you might increase the airflow across the elevators, increasing their effectiveness, increase the angle of attack, and worsen the stall. Also, if you apply power before the moving the stick forward, and the thrust line is below the centre of drag and/or the centre of gravity, you might pitch the nose up, increase the angle of attack and worsen the stall. (I think that I will see if this is true, flying with an instructor.) The second fail was that you suggested that I might kill somebody by posting a theory. The third fail was that you could have pointed out that the reasons to cut the power in a spin include that adding power flattens the spin, and that if the spin is actually a spiral dive, you will more quickly exceed the structural capacity of the plane. People are supposed to read up the theory before they have the corresponding lesson. Asking questions here is part of me reading up on the theory before the lesson.

At the risk of more multiple fails, I'd say you're making my point for me.

Note just a few posts ago in the video of spinning the Pitts, if you followed your sequence you would have drilled a hole in the ground, and if anyone had copied your sequence and done the same in the Pitts they also would have been digging a hole. Different aircraft require different actions, and sometimes different actions depending on the attitude.

Many people go on forums and take what's written for granted. They shouldn't, but they do. The Pitts example is a good one on why not to rely on forums alone.

There's nothing wrong in checking out the POH for the aircraft you intend flying, but nothing beats a practical briefing. In the Pitts case wto things stand out:

1. Where the instructor stands near the rudder and elevator and physically shows what you do with each one in a certain attitude and how the air direction relates to the action.

2. Despite the briefing there was a misunderstanding between the student and instructor. The student was waiting to be told to recover; the instructor had wanted him to recover immediately.

Tomorrow you will see and be able to make notes based on your own experience in the aircraft you chose and loaded with two people.  You may want to become an aerobatic pilot after the experience.

For spin recovery use acronym PARE

P power idle

A ailerons neutral

R rudder opposite

E elevators forward

 

Do it with spin rated instructor in spin rated aircraft. Have fun 🙂

 

Except where you have to do the opposite of power idle, or other controls

How about you pitch us a new engine (your design) to replace the Continental IO-550 that has powered the best selling GA aircraft for the last 20 years (cirrus sr22). We will assume your engine has the same reliability, but tell us how it will be better.  

Personally I can't be bothered with the rubbish all over again.
