Which of the following actions should be taken during spin recovery regarding ailerons?

During spin recovery, keeping the ailerons neutral is the correct action to take. This is crucial because applying ailerons—whether towards or opposite the direction of the spin—can complicate the recovery process. In a spin, the aircraft is already uncoordinated, and using the ailerons can increase the adverse yaw effect, potentially aggravating the stall condition and prolonging the spin.

When the ailerons are kept neutral, the pilot can effectively apply the appropriate recovery techniques, such as pushing the nose down to reduce the angle of attack and applying opposite rudder to counteract the spin, allowing for a more straightforward recovery. This method helps the wings regain airflow, enabling the aircraft to exit the spin and recover to level flight safely. Thus, keeping the ailerons neutral during spin recovery is a critical part of controlled and effective recovery.
