What is the primary goal of recovering from a spin?

The primary goal of recovering from a spin is to stabilize the aircraft and return to level flight. This recovery involves executing specific control inputs to regain the aircraft's controllability and eliminate the spin condition. When an aircraft is in a spin, it is in a state of uncoordinated flight where one wing is stalled more than the other, causing it to descend in a rotational motion. To recover, the pilot must first reduce the angle of attack by fully applying forward pressure on the control stick or yoke, then use the correct aileron and rudder inputs to antidote the spin and regain control of the aircraft.

Returning to level flight is crucial, as it not only assures the safety of the pilot and passengers but also allows for safe handling of the aircraft after disturbing conditions. This differs significantly from the other choices, which do not effectively address the dangers posed by a spin or focus on bringing the aircraft back to a stable flight condition. Avoiding actions like maintaining altitude until help arrives or increasing airspeed to regain lift reflects an understanding that immediate recovery from the spin is necessary for flight safety.
