Default Emergency Descents with ATC COMS - Video

On Aug 23, 6:57*am, a wrote:
* * * * * * * (1) *A bank of 60 degrees relative to the horizon; or

* * * * * * * (2) *A nose-up or nose-down attitude of 30 degrees
* * * relative to the horizon."


Check out the following references.

FARS 91.303 defines Acrobatic flight. http://www.risingup.com/fars/info/part91-303-FAR.shtml
This was only a bank exercise (NOT pitch), recovery was not an abrupt
attitude change as you can see in the video.

FARS 91.307 http://www.risingup.com/fars/info/part91-307-FAR.shtml
defines when a parachute is required. I was solo (I was NOT carrying
other people in this video)

This maneuver I was told is a maneuver for commercial jet jockeys and
they are not certified for aerobatics.
