Cle Elum crash on NTSB
Bill D wrote..........
If the glider has transitioned into a spiral dive, and the pilot does nothing or uses spin recovery controls, it's going to get nasty - especially at low altitudes. I believe the way to distinguish between a spin or a spiral is to take a quick peek at the airspeed indicator. If it is reading 60 knots or more, you are in a spiral, not a spin and need to roll the wings level and pull the nose up to the horizon. If you apply spin recovery controls (stick forward and opposite rudder) you will find yourself going straight down right now! Cheers, JJ
