S5 Glider advanced manoeuvres

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to perform advanced manoeuvres in a glider.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               S5.1 – Enter and recover from stall
            1.        perform pre-manoeuvre checks for stalling;
            2.        recognise stall signs and symptoms;
            3.         control the glider by applying the required pitch, roll and yaw inputs as appropriate in a smooth, coordinated manner, trims aeroplane accurately to enter and recover from the following manoeuvres:
                   1.          where initial symptoms of a stall become evident;
                   2.         stall under the following conditions:
                          1.       straight and level flight;
                          2.       climbing;
                          3.       descending;
                          4.       approach to land configuration;
                          5.       turning;
            4.        when executing the recovery for each of the stall manoeuvres mentioned in paragraph (c), adjust the aeroplane's attitude to resume normal balanced flight on advent of stall, applicable to glider type;
            5.        during stall recovery:
                   1.          reduce angle of attack to unstall the wings;
                   2.         achieve height loss that is appropriate for the type of glider and commensurate with available altitude (simulated ground-base height may be set).
     2.               S5.2 – Recover from spin at the incipient phase
            1.        perform spin pre-manoeuvre checks;
            2.        recognise symptoms of spin at the incipient phase;
            3.         use the glider's attitude controls to enter a spin and recover at the incipient phase from the following flight conditions:
                   1.          straight and level flight;
                   2.         climbing;
                   3.       turning;
            4.        use correct recovery technique to regain straight and level flight with height loss commensurate with the available altitude (simulated ground-base height may be set).
     3.               S5.3 – Recover from spiral dive
            1.        perform spiral dive pre-manoeuvre checks;
            2.        recognise a spiral dive and symptoms;
            3.         use the glider's attitude controls to execute a spiral dive manoeuvre from the following flight conditions and, using correct recovery technique, regain straight and level flight with height loss commensurate available altitude (simulated
