Quite a few statements similiar to that of fibods.
If an instructor is not comfortable with flying to the edge of the envelope, beyond and back again safely, then they should find another job
To my knowledge there is no requirement for CFI's, Grade 1, 2 or 3 to have to be able to (or want to ) spin an aircraft (in Australia, that is). All that is required is that they have demonstrated that the he can exit a spin. The reason for that being quite obvious.
Therefore if the Regulator does not make it a requirment, and it is not part of the job description; why is the feeling that Instructor is less of an Instructor for not wanting to teach and worse, the feeling that he should not even be instructing.
Seems to me that there are enough testosterone loaded instructors out there to go around without all of us having to do it. I would hazard a guess some have even posted here on this subject.
I
used to teach it, and even
used to enjoy it, but age and a few frights convinced me to let others do it
Yep, I voted to refuse.
