I just love all the comments about people experiencing stalls when flying solo.
We teach slow flight, stalling and spin awareness so that primarily one can avoid the stall at all times and so that in the unlikely event that while avoiding stalls at all costs, one should accidently stall, one can recover with minimum height loss.
We do not teach spins and spin recovery because if one never stalls one will never spin.
Sounds very logical to me until the instructor then sends a student off solo with the actual intention of entering a full stall (does not matter if it is with or without power applied).
That act throws the whole rationalle out the window.
Why is there any need for a low hours inexperienced nervous student to practice something that is to be avoided at all costs?
All the stall training I do with students is done dual.........if they can do it dual or with an examminer then they do not have to "prove" anything by doing it solo..............and thus when they get a severe wing drop during a stall with full power applied, I am there to provide support and guidance if it is required!
