Could the altitude the Americans operate their aircraft have an effect. I wonder what altitude they start their spins if the aerodrome elevation is 8000ft!.... add 3000 for safety plus 5000 for possible doggy spin recovery....16,000 feet. After half an hour perhaps they are starting to forget how to recover.
Do they operate on oxygen?
I seem to remember BH having at least one bail out.
Once in crew room listening to the account from the instructor.
Student got out easily, he being held in by g force, had to drag himself off the wing...so he said.
The final report i seem to remember said it was a sloopy spin entry by student and recovery. Report suggested go back to pro spin then standard recovery.
Held me in good stead one day in a Terrahawk.
