Effective CRM requires the captain to foster open communication, actively evaluate crew input, and make collaborative decisions to prevent errors.

Question 5

What is the recommended technique for recovering from a power-off spiral dive?

Accepted Answer

Reduce power, roll wings level, then gently pull out of the dive
