Objectives:
Upon completion of this lesson, the student will:
•	Be able to identify nose-high and nose-low unusual attitudes.
•	Recover from nose-high and nose-low unusual attitudes solely by reference to the flight instruments (with and without the attitude indicator).
Elements:
•	Situational Awareness/Division of Attention.
•	Rapid instrument scan and cross check.
•	Stall and spin awareness.
Schedule:
•	Pre-lesson briefing								00:10
•	Pre-Flight and flight to practice area						00:10
•	Practice unusual attitude recovery						00:20
•	Flight back to airport								00:10
•	Post-lesson debriefing								00:10
Total:	01:00
Equipment:
•	IFR Capable airplane
•	View limiting device
•	Sick Sacks
Instructor Actions:
1.	Pre-lesson briefing
•	Present lesson objective.
•	Describe what will take place during the lesson.
•	Describe how to identify nose-high and nose-low unusual attitudes with all instruments operating and without the attitude indicator..
•	Describe the recovery procedures for nose-high and nose-low unusual attitudes.
2.	Pre-flight and flight to practice area
•	Observe that the student performs the proper preflight checks of the instruments, navigation equipment and airplane systems appropriate for an IFR flight.
•	Use the opportunity to practice the student’s general instrument flying skills. With the student wearing the view limiting device, give him or her instructions to fly various headings, perform standard rate turns, climbs and descents, etc.
3.	Practice unusual attitude recovery.
•	Review indications of and recovery procedure for nose-high attitude.
•	Have student perform clearing turns while instructor looks for traffic.
•	Place the airplane in a nose-high attitude and have student recover (all instruments available).
•	Review indications of and recovery procedure for nose-low attitude.
•	Place the airplane in a nose-high attitude and have student recover (all instruments available).
•	Place the airplane in various attitudes and have student recover (full panel).
•	Place the airplane in various attitudes and have student recover (with attitude indicator covered).
4.	Return flight
•	Use the opportunity to practice the student’s general instrument flying skills. With the student wearing the view limiting device, give him or her instructions to fly various headings, perform standard rate turns, climbs and descents, etc.
5.	Post Lesson Debriefing
•	Critique student’s performance of maneuvers with constructive suggestions to improve technique.
•	Answer student questions.
•	Ask student questions to evaluate what was learned.
•	Explain what will be covered in the next lesson and assign reading material.
Student Actions:
1.	Pre-lesson briefing
•	Ask questions concerning previous lessons and/or this one.
2.	Pre-flight and flight to practice area
•	The student performs the proper preflight checks of the instruments, navigation equipment and airplane systems appropriate for an IFR flight.
•	Takeoff and fly to practice area on headings (+/- 100) and at altitudes (+/- 100 ft.) specified by the instructor while flying strictly by reference to the instruments.
3.	Practice unusual attitude recovery.
•	Entry altitude > 1,500 AGL.
•	Perform clearing turns prior to starting the maneuvers.
•	Practice recovery from nose-high and nose-low attitudes initiated by the instructor, both with all flight instruments available and without the attitude indicator.
4.	Return flight from practice area
•	Fly to the airport on headings (+/- 100) and at altitudes (+/- 100 ft.) specified by the instructor while flying strictly by reference to the instruments.
5.	Post-flight debriefing.
•	Ask questions about the lesson.
Completion Standards:
This lesson will be completed when the student is able to identify and recover from nose-high and nose-low unusual attitudes solely by reference to the flight instruments with and without use of the attitude indicator.
Common Errors:
•	Failure to identify the attitude of the airplane.
•	Failure to apply the proper corrections in the proper order.
•	Fixating on a single instrument.
