My impression of NASTAR's upset recovery trainer was luke warm. The same bit of training could have been accomplished in a non motion simulator. I was the last to go and as a result was able to play with the g-load sim. After, spoke with the engineer, "What is the one thing that you see done incorrectly?" He states that in a nose up, rapidly decreasing speed, in a large catagory aircraft, you should roll 90 degrees and use rudder. Apparently most would just pitch down 'nose over' the airplane. After, I recall seeing a video during training of a test flight whereby the recovery of an 'approaching stall' was to roll the airplane on it's side and rudder the airplane to yaw about the verticle axis of the airplane, to allow the nose to 'slice through the horizon'. Anyone see this video? Just 'food for thought'.
