TE 44 Repaired Plane ???

Hi Guys,
What do you suppose to do in this mission?
After a few minutes, the aircraft is damaged and spinning uncontrollably,
how do you get out of it?Please advise.
-
Eject……or you could try to trim it out and find the closest Divert Field.
-
I’d like to try landing the aircraft.
I find there is an airstrip behind me.
But my aircraft always get damaged first before I get there.Can you explain in more detail what do you mean by “trim out”?

On your left console, you will find your trim switches. Use them to level (as much as possible) your aircraft to make it more manageable to fly.
-
yes I am aware of the trim switches.
my question is:
how do you trim the already spinning aircraft?
do you pitch, roll or yaw trim? -
It depends what axis the aircraft is moving around. You always want to trim out opposite to the direction the aircraft is moving. So if you suddenly start rolling to the left you want to trim out to the right and same for the elevator and rudder. If the aircraft completely departs from controlled flight then your only chance my be to eject.

Keeping in mind that yaw axis rotation will also induce roll …. in other words, if you’re spinning in ‘roll’, some may be roll induced and some may be yaw induced.

I don’t want to sound daft but the first thing to do if FLY THE PLANE. Use the stick and rudders to get control, spin recovery is centre controls, throttle back, opposite rudder, as a/c stops spinning keep the nose below the horizon to gain speed. Once recovered and in a positive attitude (nose above horizon and speed either climbing or at the least not falling) then you can look at whether you can manage to trim the a/c to fly better. Don’t forget to dump and ordinance you may have AFTER the spin recovery. Fly the jet using gentle inputs and a moderate speed and find an airfield asap. Don’t forget you rudder as it can be a useful control when others are compromised.
The main thing to remember throughout this entire thing though is what is you minimum safe ejection altitude and make sure you are out of the a/c before it goes through this.
