- Chapter 7, Section II: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Unusual Attitude Recovery Protection
AHRS and ADC failure. In this failure scenario, there are no indications of the aircraft’s attitude. The manufacturer recommends turning on the autopilot, which is simply a wing leveler. With a failure of the primary instrumentation…

overstress the cylinders by being constantly aware of the rpm, especially when increasing the manifold pressure. Consult the manufacturer’s recommendations for power settings of a particular engine to maintain the proper relationship between manifold pressure and rpm. When both ... manifold pressure, and avoid operation at maximum rpm and low manifold pressure. The engine and/or airframe manufacturer’s recommendations should be followed to prevent severe wear, fatigue, and damage to high-performance reciprocating engines…

settings may adversely impact response to tailplane stall conditions at high airspeed in some aircraft designs. Observe the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding power settings.); • Make nose-down pitch changes slowly, even in gusting conditions, if circumstances allow ... increased power settings at the same flap setting. Airspeed, at any flap setting, in excess of the airplane manufacturer’s recommendations, accompanied by uncleared ice contaminating the tailplane, may result in a tailplane stall and uncommanded pitch down from which…
