Totally agree with the Spin comments above.
I'm one of the "sad muppets" who got hooked on flying through aero's trial lessons and had my first "SPIN" session yesterday. (12 1/2 hrs PPL 4 hrs Aeros - so I'm a baby in flying terms!!)
I wasn't particularly concerned about the spins apart from just how disorientated am I going to get (Puking issue - never happened yet!), but was terrified about parachutes and 10,000ft - weird eh??
First 2 demonstrated and it wasn't as bad as I thought - eyes sorted themselves out. According to the "boss" he was teaching me "academic" spins (11B) and recoveries. (stall, incipient spin and recover, full spin and recover, spiral dives and recover).
Actually thoroughly enjoyed myself but was shaking like a leaf afterwards - relief of tension??
When I'm further on in the PPL (i.e. I can generally control the plane better than I can now) he'll take me for an aero's session where we'll have a look at the spins from botched manoeuvres - then hopefully I won't kill myself - or him!!!!
