Hi guys,
Why is there any need for a low hours inexperienced nervous student to practice something that is to be avoided at all costs?
I haven't read the whole thread, but I must say I have always wondered about this: my theory is that it is typically not clearly explained to students WHY the stalls are being practised other than "here's what you have to do to pass your test"...

From some conversations overheard at the bar about "practicing stalls" when solo, post-PPL, I have the impression that many people see it as some sort of skill; whereas my interpretation is that you need to get used to recognising what it looks, feels and sounds like so you can take immediate action to recover, ergo it should normally be avoided!

On the other hand, I understand why spin-training would be a good idea and regret I haven't had any!!!

Just my two-penneth worth!

Andy
