What is the pilot’s primary recovery instrument during an airplane upset when the instruments are known to be fully functional and accurate?

Attitude Indicator

Airspeed Indicator

Slip/Skid Indicator

Altimeter

By certification, what is the recoverability margin of safety when practicing a stall in most normal category SE aircraft?

Since intentional spins are prohibited in SE normal category airplanes, there is no margin of safety beyond the initial stall break.

One turn spin. In a delayed stall recovery, SE normal category airplanes are generally certified to be recoverable from a one-turn spin, or a three-second spin, whichever takes longer.

A normal category airplane has a three turn spin margin of safety as long as the pilot applies proper spin recovery technique before the end of the third turn.

In upset recoveries, are “rolling pulls” at high bank angles generally considered to be an undesirable technique?

Yes

No

Will a NASA Standard Spin Recovery (P.A.R.E.) effectively work in an incipient spin in a Normal Category airplane if initiated before one-turn of rotation?

Possibly if done expeditiously however, it could allow enough time for a spin to develop and it may be unrecoverable from the spin

Always

Never

Without an AOA indicator, how do you know if you have effectively reduced AOA using the elevator control?

The elevator is not full aft.

You experience a light "seat of the pants" feeling.

The nose is coming down.
