Whether we are talking about skid training in a car or spin training in an aircraft, it takes a amount of training before you remove the initial surprised reaction and the recovery becomes instinctive.
Indeed. But as many of the average spam cans are not cleared for spinning it is a bit of a moot point. I still maintain it is better to teach to avoid the spin rather than recovery from it. If you learn the signs, symptoms and causes of a spin you should never need to recover from one as you will learn to fly on the correct side of the envelope.
This then puts spinning where it should be in the realms of thrill seeking and advanced handling.
I am not anti-spinning at all. I rather like spinning and the thrill it gives me. But as an Instructor I do not think it has a place in modern basic instruction.
