Remoak....sometimes it is beter to "bend" the rules and to stay alive than to stick to the rules and become a statistic. Perhaps i could have used a better choice of words "Bend' in leu of "Break". I agree it is only the realm of extremely experienced and qualified Instructors....as it should be. Sorry mate but in 35 yrs and 14k+ hrs and a lot of that as CFI I can tell you students do get themselves into spins. The stall spin situation is very real and it usually occurs at low level.....overshoot turn onto final.

Anyhow....to each his own.

By the way i can give examples of studens going out to practise stalls only to inadvertently go into a spin.....our students were always trained for full spin recovery (not in the PPL syllabus) before being allowed solo for stall practise.....some people, read "schools" prohibit solo stall practise....Jesus forbid!! You can teach a monkey to fly but you can't teach him commonsense.....applies to some people.
