Unintentional flat spin in a Tipsy Nipper https://youtube/watch?v=bvbS-oHi9ro&feature=youtu.be From the AAIB report: The pilot had not encountered a flat spin before so responded initially by applying the normal spin recovery actions,ie, neutral ailerons, left rudder andthen full forward stick. This had no effect. He reported that after about three to four turns, he removed and re - applied theseinputs, again with no effect. After a further couple of turns, he applied a series of short bursts of engine power, but this too had no discernible effect, so he closed the throttle and centred the controls before reverting to normal recovery actions. After abouti0 turnsin total, the engine stopped and, because normal recovery actions appeared to be having no effect, he decided to try ‘full in-turn controls’, comprising full forward stick, full right rudder, and full right aileron. He estimated that after a further six turns or so in this condition, the mode of the spin reverted to its usual steep nose-down mode, from which he was able to recover normally into a steep dive.
