Abstract :
Recovery of safe flight for a particular aircraft, in a specific initial adverse condition is examined, with and without a specific control failure. It is shown that under optimal circumstances, the adverse vehicle state could be corrected with little altitude loss. In addition, a control failure which proved fatal in practice was corrected, assuming independently acting spoilers. Generalizing these results to a comprehensive set of upset scenari will be time consuming, but could offer valuable heuristic piloting insights.
