Draft AC 61-16 v1.0 - Spin avoidance and stall recovery training

I had not seen this until just now.

They have defined incipient spin (something that has been not stated in CASA docs before AFAIK)
The incipient phase of the spin is the period between the commencement of autorotation and the developed, stable or steady phase of autorotation. The incipient phase of a spin will persist for two to four rotations until pitch, roll and yaw oscillations develop into relatively steady and predictable periods.
As the MOS requires students to demonstrate proficiency in recovery from incipient spin, this seems to me to then imply that RPL/PPL training will require training (for that phase) in an aircraft that is (legally) spinnable.

Am I interpreting that correctly or am I missing something?

If so that will be interesting for schools who don't have access to such aircraft for that phase of the student's training.

I am also curious, will RPCs require this as well?
