I agree with you completely and it is a concern that there is not a recognised definition of an incipient spin. Our own debate illustrates the point. BPF, the Cessna pamphlet in no way supports the idea that a stall recovery technique should be used for an incipient spin recovery ".....merely by relaxing the pro-spin rudder and elevator deflections," indeed it warns against it: "...... positive spin recovery control inputs should be used regardless of the phase of the spin during which recovery is initiated". We know that some types are very difficult to spin and just as hard to maintain in a spin such as the C172 and, only by way of explanation the pamphlet acknowledges this but goes no further. It must always be remembered and continuously emphasised to the student, it seems many instructors as well, that a well balanced aeroplane within its "utility" limits may be a very different beast than when it is operated outside these limits closer to it's maximum all up weight and aft centre of gravity.
