Listen "Spins"
Episode Synopsis
The provided text explains the phenomenon of a spin in aviation. It describes the conditions that lead to a spin, including high angle of attack, low airspeed, and a yawing motion. The text then breaks down the different phases of a spin, starting with the entry phase where the pilot intentionally or unintentionally creates the conditions for a spin. The incipient phase follows, during which the aircraft begins to rotate, and the developed phase where the spin is fully established and aerodynamic forces reach equilibrium. Finally, the text outlines recovery procedures, emphasizing the importance of applying power-idle, neutral ailerons, opposite rudder, and full forward elevator to break the stall and stop the spin.
