How do you recover from a dive on a plane?

The dive recovery procedure that I recommend is as follows:

1. Push: Move the yoke or stick towards neutral if “loaded” (pulling G’s).
2. Roll: Find the nearest horizon (shortest direction to roll upright) and roll to level the wings with respect to it.
3. If Spatially Disoriented: You must trust your eyes!

Do pilots fix planes?

Airplane pilots do, however, possess the ability to return aircraft to airworthiness after certain maintenance actions. The items range from simply servicing oil to performing small fabric patches, repacking wheel bearings, repainting aircraft, updating GPS databases, and replacing fuel lines.

What happens in a spiral dive?

In a descending spiral, the wings aren’t stalled; instead the airplane accelerates around a spiraling path, with the spiral usually tightening on its own as airspeed, bank angle and load factor increase.

Can a pilot change his own oil?

Of the 33 or so listed preventative maintenance tasks, items 6 and 23 permit aircraft owners who possess at least a private pilots certificate or higher to change the oil and the filter (or to service the oil screen) in a certificated aircraft of which they are the owner.

How long should I wait to fly after a scuba dive?

The waiting time before going to flight altitudes above 8,000 feet should be at least 24 hours after any SCUBA dive. These recommended altitudes are actual flight altitudes above mean sea level (AMSL) and not pressurized cabin altitudes. This takes into consideration the risk of decompression of the aircraft during flight.

What happens if a pilot is ill?

Illness. Even a minor illness suffered in day‐to‐day living can seriously degrade performance of many piloting tasks vital to safe flight. Illness can produce fever and distracting symptoms that can impair judgment, memory, alertness, and the ability to make calculations.

What if a pilot does not meet medical standards?

Pilots who do not meet medical standards may still be qualified under special issuance provisions or the exemption process. This may require that either additional medical information be provided or practical flight tests be conducted.

When should a student pilot visit an aviation medical examiner?

Student pilots should visit an Aviation Medical Examiner as soon as possible in their flight training in order to avoid unnecessary training expenses should they not meet the medical standards.
