Questions: JNUSUAL ATTITUDES / INSTRUMENT FAILURE Recovering From Unusual Attitudes Previously Unanswered Select the true statement(s). If you find yourself in a nose-high unusual attitude the correct procedure is to level the wings prior to lowering the nose. If you find yourself in a nose-high unusual attitude the correct procedure is to lower the nose prior to leveling the wings. If you find yourself in a nose-high unusual attitude the correct procedure is to increase power prior to lowering the nose.

The true statement is the first one: If you find yourself in a nose-high unusual attitude, the correct procedure is to level the wings prior to lowering the nose.

Explanation for each option:

1. The first statement: "If you find yourself in a nose-high unusual attitude, the correct procedure is to level the wings prior to lowering the nose."

   • This statement is true. In a nose-high unusual attitude, the priority is to regain control and prevent a stall. Leveling the wings first helps to stabilize the aircraft and prevent any rolling motion, which can complicate recovery. Once the wings are level, the pilot can then safely lower the nose to regain normal flight attitude.

2. The second statement: "If you find yourself in a nose-high unusual attitude, the correct procedure is to lower the nose prior to leveling the wings."

   • This statement is incorrect. Lowering the nose before leveling the wings can lead to an uncoordinated flight and potentially exacerbate the unusual attitude. It is generally safer to level the wings first to ensure the aircraft is stable before adjusting the pitch.

3. The third statement: "If you find yourself in a nose-high unusual attitude, the correct procedure is to increase power prior to lowering the nose."

   • This statement is incorrect. While increasing power can be part of the recovery process, it is not the first step. The primary focus should be on leveling the wings and then adjusting the pitch. Increasing power without first stabilizing the aircraft can lead to further complications.

In summary, the correct procedure in a nose-high unusual attitude is to level the wings first, ensuring the aircraft is stable, before lowering the nose to return to a normal flight attitude.
