Wise words. Completely agree with the point about spinning too often being reduced into an academic exercise which is then compartmentalised away by the student and all too easily ignored in real world flying situations. This is exactly why any worthwhile ‘upset’ or safety training will specifically focus and include practice (at a safe height) on the places where a pilot will most likely get into a dangerous situation, such as the tightening finals turn/too high/low power scenario.
And also agree wholeheartedly that recurrent training is essential.
On a lighter note, I suggest that all of your students make sure that they get on your good side!
