Yep.
It is interesting to compare the two vastly different incipient spin recovery techniques and the techniques for stall recovery with and without a wing drop in CASA’s Flight Instructor Manual with the FAA’s revised Airplane Flying Handbook.
I wonder whether CASA will go back to the old Day VFR Syllabus with just a wing drop as an incipient spin or go with EASA’s new definition of the incipient spin required for training.

Yep. It also works beyond a wing drop and the airplane is aggressively progressing towards a spin.

In my airplane that results in a neat transition to an inverted spin.
