~n this case proced as follows :

1) Return hand and rudder controls to the position

corresponding to th~ spin_performed. ,
2) Accomplish the spin recovery by the procedure outl1.r1,ed in
item 4.18.1. or 4,18.2. depending upon the spin performed.
Warning:
( 1) During the sp~n ,keep the engine id ling I the rudder
at full deflect~on, the control/stick in': extreme
pos,ition/ the ailerons in neutr'al position. ' ,
(2) To decrease the altitude 10s8, it is possible to open,

auxiliary panel under the instrument panel. T~e VHF push
button is placed on the throttle lever. Located in the
right portion of the instrument panel is a socket for
connecting the earphone~~

Total number of channels ,720

Transmitter power : 6 - 8 W
Range of operating temperatures : +55 to _40 o C

7.4.3. Radiostation actuation

( 1) Just before turning the radiostation ON, the MASTER SWITCH
and the BATTERY switch should 'be tur.ned ON; during engine
run, the GENERATOR switch should be turned ON, to~. '
(2) Insert the earphone pin plug into the earphone socket.
(3) Turn the RADIO switch ON.
(4) Turn on'the radiostation by turning the MAIN SWITCH knob
to the right, to the "ON- position. '
(5) Set required frequency by aid of frequency selectors.
(6) Check receiver for proper function by pushi~ a TEST
button (check'lamp should be on and a,deep tone should
beheard). ~

(7) Check tra~smitter for proper function by pushing a VHF

button on the throttle lever (check lamp should be ON)
,and adjust reception lo~dness in accordance with ground
radiostation.
(8) In the event of weak signal, put the noise squelch out-of
operation (by turning the noise squelch switch to the
right).
- (9) Turn off the radiostation by turning the main switch knob
to the left (to the OFF posit1on).
