In Unusual Attitude Recovery, what is the third action?

• A. Level The Wings
• B. Center The Ball
• C. Nose On Horizon
• D. Power Adjust To Maintain Level Flight

Answer: (B)

When recovering from an unusual attitude in the MH-65E, the goal is to return to stable, coordinated flight quickly. The sequence used emphasizes restoring a usable reference first, then eliminating bank, and finally ensuring coordination. The third action is centering the ball. After you’ve brought the wings level and aligned the nose with the horizon, centering the ball corrects any slip or skid, removing lateral yaw tendencies and ensuring the rotor system is producing coordinated, controlled flight. Once the aircraft is level and the turn is coordinated, you can fine‑tune as needed and apply power to maintain level flight.
