All aircraft are at risk of getting in to some sort of auto-rotating condition, whether they are certified for spinning or not. If that occurs, it is all very well saying that they are not certified for spinning - the result will still very likely be a smoking hole in the ground. Knowing how to recover from an auto-rotative condition, in an aircraft certified for it or not, is one of the differences between being a properly trained pilot ...... or being dead. It really is that simple.
Do your training on an aircraft that can spin, or at least get a spinning recognition and recovery course on one. Lives are at stake.
I agree with you 110%. Spinning into the ground takes way too many lives of recreational pilots regardless of RA-Aus or VH registration or whatever licence is held. Spinning doesn't discriminate when you don't have the proper training.
