Estimated time to complete:
- 60 minutes

Aircraft:
- Mooney M20M "Bravo"

Objectives:
- Handling a VMC Unusual Attitude Emergency

 

If you totally lose control of your airplane, you'll need to be able to recover from an unusual attitude emergency. This training will begin in VMC conditions so you can practice while using outside references, but the second part of the training will take place in clouds.

Note: Due to an uncorrectable error in the original flight file you need to load the flight plan: IFR KBFI to KPWT, using the Flight Planner.

Before you load the flight, get yourself and your "cockpit" ready, because this flight does not start paused. When the flight comes on, the airplane will already be in an unusual attitude, and it will be getting worse.

If you don't respond quickly, the plane might not be recoverable. See earlier in this chapter to remind yourself how to recover from an unusual attitude. When you're ready, load the flight. Good luck! It's all out of control now; let's hope you can fix it!
