First thanks to WWW for setting this one running.
I try not to let eny of my students get to the PPL skill test without at least one session of recovery from fully developed spins but if they dont want to spin i cant make them as it is not a requirement of the PPL.
If you catch the student at soon after they start the PPL training then the chances are that they will not have had time to take in all the bar room spinning rubbish.
As to not using rudder when stalling what rubbish , Yaw + stall= spin so to not keep the ball in the center with your feet is inviting a spin when during stall recovery when yaw is introduced in the form of power applied befor the stall has been broken (yes i have had a student do it to me !)
Taking spinning out of the PPL training has left us with instructors who dont spin very often and dont feel comfortable with spinning as a result dont want to teach it.
The removal of spinning from the PPL in my opinion has left us with a growing number of pilots who regard eny more that 60 degrees of bank as aerobatics and whos flying skills outside of a very small flight envolope are poor this leads on to the discusion in another pprune forum about the lack of flying skills of the modern airline pilot when faced with an emergency but i sujest that we do not open that can of worms here.
