Yes, thanks. Milk & Two Sugars please, pets. (...and I *do* have nomex underwear...)

Presumably the concept of teaching spin recovery 'at some stage' would mean the stage before said pilot kills him/herself in a spin accident, which as recent history sadly shows us, can be on your second or third solo.

The fundamental problem is that PPL training is mostly conducted on platforms which are not approved for intentional spinning; and that the FI course seems to generate a culture of fear in new FIs about the whole subject.

(...and is that the same Trapper 69 with 9000 hours who also has a track record of dumping young ladies into rivers from the top wing?)
