AFNOR test 12: Exit form asymmetrical tuck

Objectives

Simulation of a known effect of turbulence.

Procedures

The pilot provoke a tuck of at least 55% of the wingspan, then shift the weight on the inflated side and waits for 4 sec before using the commands (if necessary).

Required results

Standard

Spontaneous return to pilotable flight in less than 4 sec, and maximum course deviation of 3600.

Performance

Same as Standard but maximum course deviation of 3600.

Competition

If the return to normal flight isn't effective after 3600, the pilot intervene and the wing must return to be pilotable in less than 3600 and 4 sec.

Twin

Same as Competition
