I only met Darryl Stanton once. He came to Carlisle to approve me to conduct icing trials on a TB20 using the TKS system. Charming chap.
If memory serves, when I instructed on the AS202 Bravo at PIK, it took roughly 2 rotations before the nose would drop and enter a ‘stable’ spin state occurred. The great thing about the Bravo was just how predictable it was during the recovery ~ using the prescribed technique ! A fantastic aerobatic trainer, and a shear delight to fly. The handling characteristics were simply wonderful.
I also spun the PA38 at the Carlisle flying club. Again, lived to tell the ‘tail’ !
The UPRT requirements applies to all CPL/IR holders aspiring to their
first multi pilot type training wef 20 December 2019.
