As B2N2 says, CASA require incipient spin recovery in the MOS.

The MOS however does not define what an incipient spin is (as far as I can find).

It seems to get taught as anything from a stall with minor wing drop/yaw to managing a a falling leafy type manoeuvre to a multiple turn spin entry depending on the aircraft and also instructor/school interpretation of what CASA means when they say incipient spin.

I think this should be better defined in the MOS. What is the actual competency they are wanting a pilot to demonstrate?

Perhaps demonstrating the ability to control/prevent yaw during stall recovery?

Perhaps demonstrating the ability to recover from a spin prior to it becoming stable (if the aircraft they operate allows spins)?

Something else?
