How To Do A Spin On Your Flight Simulator

By Chloe Holmes

Inside:

Make sure the option "Autocoordination"is off.

1. Line up with a reference point such as a building, or a road.
2. Reduce power and slow to about 90 knots.
3. Add back pressure to raise the nose to about 40 degrees, and glance at the left wing to establish a correct pitch attitude.
4. While holding back pressure, completely close the throttle. You'll need to increase back pressure as the airplane decelerates. Again look at the left wing to maintain the right pitch attitude.
5. Just before you stall, smoothly pull the stick back and apply and hold full rudder in the direction you want to spin. The nose will fall toward the vertical as the spin starts.
6. Hold the stick full back and maintain full rudder. Look out over the nose and count the number of turns.
7. To stop the spin, apply full rudder in the opposite direction of the rotation and relax back pressure to break the stall. As soon as the spin stops, neutralize the rudder. Ease back on the stick as airspeed builds. Add power as the nose drops to the horizon. Chloe Holmes
