Mechanical failure is often a result but generally not a causal factor, as it is the pilot s sense of equilibrium which leads to the spiral dive.

In aviation, a "'graveyard spiral "'is a dangerous spiral dive entered into accidentally by a pilot who is not trained or not proficient in instrument flight when flying in instrument meteorological conditions ( IMC ).
13.
In a spiral dive, the aircraft will respond conventionally to the pilot's inputs to the flight controls and recovery from a spiral dive requires a different set of actions from those required to recover from a spin.

The handling characteristics of the Interceptor have been described as " alarming . " In steep turns the elevator became ineffective, and the aircraft was prone to enter a spiral dive or a spin from such flight attitudes.

"' TWA Flight 841 "'was a domestic, scheduled passenger flight from John F . Kennedy International Airport in New York City, en route to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport in roll to the right, and subsequently went into a spiral dive.

Thus, a spiral dive results from the netting-out of many forces depending partly on the design of the aircraft, partly on its attitude, and partly on its throttle setting ( a susceptible design will spiral dive under power but may not in the glide ).
