Spinning Dilema
I have a feeling that, despite this line, some mutant will still say that "The only choice is not to go!!" (and, on the whole, I agree) - however......
I recently had to renew my JAA Instructor Rating. Elected to do a flight test with an examiner. Had a PA28 booked from the school.
Turn up on the day and meet Mr. Examiner - who then says "We have been given a Cessna 150 because we have to do spinning".
I protest, saying that a C150, with the two of us, would be both overweight and out of balance - neither of which are conducive to spin recovery.
Mr. Examiner says "The PA28 is not approved for spinning, we HAVE to do it, if you want the rating...you will go in the Cessna."
I think that anybody who says they would not have gone at all - and would do without the rating - is probably lying...but what would you have done??
