6K AGL and still OCF? Give it back to the tax payers.
No Grumble - I only retired in Jan!
As you say - "Let go of everything, boards in has always (at least during my time) been the beginning of the procedures - THEN if still out of control "Throttle - Idle"
In my post, I wasn't telling you the Hornet OCF.
I was saying that I have had to recently learn NEW OCF/Spin procedures - and that it is a hard thing to do after so many years and practice of saying the **old** stuff.
(Btw - I probably went through 4 or 5 iterations of the OCF/Falling Leaf/Spin procedures before finally coming to the current end product)
You can thank me and my safety shop (specifically the NATOPS Model Manager at the time) for those simplified procedures
In any case - back to the OPs training. I've seen UPSET TRAINING (Unusual Attitude, Out of controlled flight, and Spin training) advertised at other flight schools and at some of those places that do the mock aerial combat experiences in AZ.
