IIRC the reason we stopped teaching “spinning” was that more people were killing themselves spin training than were actually killing themselves through inadvertent entry.
Again, I can’t help thinking that this is all a little overkill. I understand that something needs to be done with fundamental “basic pilotage” but surely the more appropriate response is awareness/avoidance rather than recovery?
I make sure that all my FI candidates are fully aware of the dangers of spinning (we do several fully developed) and pray that the lessons are then passed on to their students.
Finally, I would disagree that the 152 is a good spin trainer. All those that I have had the pleasure to fly only require you think of relaxing pro-spin and they’re flying again. Surely, if the point of all this is recovery (with the correct technique) then perhaps we need something that requires correct recovery inputs every time.... or are we back to point 1 above again?
