How do you get out of an inverted spin?


Recommended Posts

Sometimes when I'm being attacked I push the stick forward, but it can cause an inverted spin (FW and  109) I can't seem to get out of. What is the trick? Thanks!

S!

 

 I got out of the inverted spin by luck I guess, but I think revving the engine between idle and full power did it.

I think using the rudder in the (at least for me) counter-intuitive direction - need to try it out again sometime.

 

Requiem has done a video about it some time ago...

There's a very simple 3-step process to get out of it:

 

1. Open canopy

 

2. Jump out

 

3. Pull chord

That's the process for inverted spins below 1500m.

Above that you may wanna try to save the crate. ;)

1. Try to do as Requiem shows in the video.

 

2. Pray that it works.

 

 

It is the normal procedure to get out of them, the great ( not! ) thing is that it won't every time so keep Finkeren's notes at hand.

Chop throttle

Opposite rudder

Forward stick

Drop flaps

My only advice would be

 

Step 1: Do not enter one.

Instead of pushing the stick forward pull it all the way back and to the left put in full left rudder at the same time and do a snap roll. It will throw their aim off and make them fly right past you. I've used this tactic a lot when I can't shake an enemy.

Forward stick in an inverted spin? I don't think so...

During inverted spins, it is common to pick up the roll direction and input the wrong recovery controls. The eye will pick up the left roll and miss the right yaw for example. You want to apply rudder opposite the yaw direction, not the roll. Therefore, using the cockpit turn indicator to show the yaw direction is good advice. Upright or inverted, apply rudder opposite the turn needle.

What kind of chord progression would you recommend? Would A minor sus chord progression be dramatic enough when you are plummeting towards the earth? Church organ would suit the best, I suppose. :P

I don't think any of the BoS aircraft will hold an inverted spin with neutral controls now (Requiem is actually holding into-spin rudder in his video)  - the Bf 109 would in early versions, but I couldn't reproduce it later. Probably just as well, as it was very reluctant to recover:

I've never gotten myself into an inverted spin.
