odd one - sorry chum, but you are teaching someone to fly an a/c as their first step towards learning the principles of flight and to think that the student will never in their time as a PPL holder will fly a type of a/c that is capable of spinning is a foolish move.... Incipient is the same syptoms and entry required for the full spin.....just because most people are tuaght to fly in PA 28, DA 40 etc, people are still being taught in T67 and PA38 etc, let alone the new types coming on the market for the VLA cat that can be flown group A...
Instructors only usually wipe themselves out if they are inexpereinced and unaware of the aircrafts capabilities as well as their own.... alas another reason to bring back the PPL instructors - those who do not see it as a stepping stone therefore have a greater respect for the full flight envelope instead of the partial bit that you use straight and level and above the stall speed.......
Technology and efficiency in the training syllabus is going to come round to haunt us again...... Synthetic vision in GA will be the next trauma for us to contend with...... not that there is anything we can do to stop technology - we seem very poor at understanding and teaching best practises......
oh and wasnt IMC on the sim it was VFR......
