Pattern Altitude
I have been thinking again..I know, I know..But..I was reading an article on Flying VFR into IMC for a non instrument rated pilot. They were talking about how the pilot would get himself, or herself...into trouble by entering a spin, then pulling back on the yoke and eventually making the spin tighter. They suggest just as I was taught, to level the wings first, then take care of your airspeed and altitude. If the wings stall, and you are not coordinated, and you enter a spin, I was told to first correct the spin with rudder..opposite the turn. Then pull out of the dive. This article says to level the wings first...I assume they are talking about ailerons, I assume they meant ailerons, because they just said to first level the wings, I think they would've added with rudder if they were not talking bout the ailerons. Heres my question....Are the ailerons effective when the wings are stalled, and are the wings still stalled when in a spin? I would assume the wings are still stalled, and the ailerons aren't effective, thus why we use rudder to correct the spin. But this article has me wondering..
Did any of that make sense?
