- Appendix A: Emergency Procedures › Maintaining Aircraft Control
Maintaining Aircraft Control Once the crewmembers recognize the situation, they commit to controlling the aircraft by using and trusting flight instruments. Attempting to search outside the flight deck for visual confirmation can result in spatial disorientation and complete loss ... establish visual references and fly the aircraft by their flight instruments. The most important concern, along with maintaining aircraft control, is to initiate a climb immediately. An immediate climb provides a greater separation from natural and manmade obstacles, as well…

pressure system and the electrical system. Identify the failed component(s) and use the remaining functional instruments to maintain aircraft control. Attempt to restore the inoperative component(s) by checking the appropriate power source, changing to a backup or alternate ... resetting the instrument if possible. Covering the failed instrument(s) may enhance a pilot’s ability to maintain aircraft control and navigate the aircraft. Usually, the next step is to advise ATC of the problem and, if necessary, declare…

Covering failed instruments may enhance the ability to maintain aircraft control and navigate the aircraft. ATC should be notified of the problem and, if necessary, declare an emergency before the situation deteriorates beyond the ability…

correct MDA, the aircraft re-entered the clouds. 3. After inadvertently re-entering the clouds, the pilot maintains aircraft control, and then maneuvers to the published holding fix, while contacting ATC. If navigational guidance or pilot SA were lost…
- Chapter 6, Section I: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying › Attitude Indicator › Airplane Trim
when it is maintaining a desired attitude with all control pressures neutralized. By relieving all control pressures, it is much easier to maintain the aircraft at a certain attitude. This allows more time to devote to the navigation instruments ... control pressure(s) to establish a desired attitude. Then, the trim is adjusted so that the aircraft maintains that attitude when flight controls are released. The aircraft is trimmed for coordinated flight by centering the ball of the turn…

ahead and turning autorotations should be practiced by reference to instruments. This training ensures prompt corrective action to maintain positive aircraft control in the event of an engine failure. To enter autorotation, reduce collective pitch smoothly to maintain a safe…
