what if the flying school you work for does not have any aircraft to spin in?
What am i supposed to do? Also when a student is flying a Pa28 or a C172 etc, what are the realistic chances that they could get the aircraft near the point it would be about to spin. A Pa28 does not spin easily - if at all but i could not say. The cessnas need to be forced into a spin and recover themselves if you just release the controls - surely if you wish to teach spinning then it must be done on an arcraft which has good spin characteristics eg something aerobatic (cap10 perhaps) otherwise imo it is a complete waste of time and does nothing more than build anxiety in the student and they will probably miss the whole point of the lesson becasue they are too terrified on what is going on.
