Hi!

They are changing the way Upset Recovery is done now.

The first step is to unload the plane. No matter what attitude you're in, you unload the plane, which prevents/stops any stall, and makes it MUCH easier to roll the plane into the correct attitude.

If you're nose low, or slightly nose up, you want to level the wings and pitch to level. By unloading it is very, very easy to level the wings.

If you're in a very nose high attitude, you want to roll (or stay) in a steep bank, which will allow the nose to fall to the horizon, and then you'll roll wings level.

There have been lots of crashes where pilots tried to roll the airplane with too many Gs, which overstressed the aircraft, or they were trying to manuever the aircraft while in or near a stall. By unloading first, you will not over-G the plane, and you won't stall (or will break the stall).

Since I read about this recovery method some years ago, I have used it in all the upset recovery training I've had, and it's worked great!
