".................... low-time pilots the importance of avoiding stall/spin situations must be a good thing."

Sorry to have to say it is not only low time pilots either. Multi thousand hour pilots are getting themselves into trouble too, when they shouldn't be. They probably are aware of the result of inadvertent stalling but some seem to be so far out of the loop with the automatics flying the aircraft, they are unable to catch a pre-stall situation when the automatics do let them down.

As for a thread like this on JB I dont think it would last long to be quite honest. After the AF prang, the hysteria among the mods and the heavy handed editing was something to behold.

This may sound cynical but to guarantee safety in the air, is to stay on the ground. There always has been accidents and there always will be.
