Course quality
Totally agree. I did mine with a ex-RAF CFS instructor at GWC, who was excellent. We were stalling/spinning the Tomahawk all day long. To be fair though, i do have an aerobatic ticket, so someone inadvertantly throwing me into a spin is not a great shock.
You do have to be absolutely comfortable to let the student try and recover correctly or incorrectly and that only comes with your own flying and instructing experience.
We had an instructor here many years ago , who i was told, was (i quote)terrified of fully developed stalls.
He/she got an airline job so maybe thats the secret. Sorry, bit cynical there!
It's a bit dissapointing that there are instructors out there that won't teach the whole subject of spinning/stalling; at least its none of us on this thread.
Apologies if I have gone off at a tangent on this thread, thus getting away from the original post.
