Well every instructor renewal i have done in the UK involves spinning, if we take the C152 up.
Also done on instructor courses.
Getting harder to find suitable aircraft.
And they are all getting older.
Have been one or two accidents spinning certain types, but can't say it was epidemic to stop doing in benign aircraft. If anything if a few demos scares the student, good, don't stall!
And the seminars have been a waste of time, we might as well just purchase the notes they give us and save us the hassle of losing two days pay.
A better system would be a list of recommended videos to watch and learn.
I think the US has done that, with credits through a AOPA scheme.
TheOddOne, The turn with the flick out seemed a favorite of a certain Mr P S, often done in types not approved for spinning. Few spin accidents aren't actual spins, just wing drops, incipient, to very steep spiral dives, still requiring lots of height to recover.
