Not at all Uncle Ginster, in fact I wouldn't want to spin most aircraft in VMC. The topic is 'Dealing with an IMC spin'. My logic is that I just wouldn't fancy my chances of getting wings level after the gyros had had a few turns, and would prefer them to be level when pulling out of the ensuing dive. The spin is far friendlier to the airframe than a spiral dive, and if the bases are high enough I reckon I could recover visually with little problem. Didn't the original aviators deliberately spin through a cloud layer as they didn't have gyros?
