Since I teach aerobatics I give all my students the hard sell on going on to formal aerobatic training as a way to further build flying skills and aircraft handling confidence...and where they will be taught spinning by a professional and in a proper aircraft.

You are one of my forum celebs and one whos writing I admire and I dont disagree with what you say above one bit.
My point is that we have to teach pilots to fly aeroplanes which means teaching them to deal with all that the aircraft can throw at them. Not because they will need those skills because hopefully they wont.
But incipient this and incipient that means that the poor student hasnt a clue what incipient this or that can lead to or if ever the poor sod goes beyond incipient this or that for whatever reason what does he do????
I would shave off a couple of hours in the PPL syllabus and add a couple of hours pure aerobatic teaching in the right aircraft with the right instructor.

(5000+ hours, single and multi-engine prop, multi-engine turboprop,multi-engine jet Captain (not heavy) ATP and thinks you should train pilots not drivers
Was Swiss Cottage near Abbey Road in a lot of ways
