In a spin recovery, how much forward elevator may be needed for recovery assuming the spin is recoverable?

Possibly full forward elevator

Just past neutral is all that's needed

Up to 3/4 full forward elevator

What are Primary Control Strategies?

A foundational strategy requiring the use of the primary flight controls in the primary way in which they were designed.

Strategies used in ab-initio training that don't transfer to larger airplanes, especially multiengine jet airplanes.

The strategies reverted by human beings in a crisis. Also known as primal reversion strategies.

What are the four methods to determine which recovery rudder to use in a fully-developed spin?

Turn Indicator (not the ball), "go with the flow", high or heavy rudder, pick one

"step on the sky", ball, heading indicator, seat of the pants

standby heading, high wing, ball, high or heavy rudder

How does a pilot fix a skidding flight condition using the primary flight controls?

By rolling the wings level using ailerons

Assuming it is an un-stalled, non-dynamic flight condition, the pilot should coordinate yaw with the rudder pedals

Apply thrust on the outboard engine

If using roll (lift vector management) to assist in generating a nose down pitch rate in a nose high unusual attitude, what is the recommended maximum bank angle?

60 degrees of bank

90 degrees of bank

135 degrees of bank

Bank should not be used to generate a nose down pitch rate in a nose high situation
