When I was in Victoria BC, Canada doing my PPL training, my instructor showed me the spin during the slow flight, stalls, steep turns part of the course so it fitted in well. We were out in the practise area, and for those who know the CYYJ area, its the one over the Duncan airstrip.
Went upto 3,000, did the HASEL check (he did) and I just tried to literally record everything he said and did so i did not screw us both up if I forgot something.
He had full power, "clean" config...and this was a cessna 152 and certified for spins. It scared the livin daylights outta me, and I was suprised I needed to hold my neck muscles tight during the maneouver. Anyhow, we recovered, with the AH spinning uncontrollably. Partial panel you could say. So I had a go the second time, but by following through, so he did two you could say. Again, i remembered what he said and did, and we went over and down again.
Got to my go, and during the nose UP attitude, I for some reason looked left slightly which rolled the wings because of my right arm lifting up for some reason. This screwed the spin entry up, and he shouted he had control and recovered from almost vertical with 0 airspeed.
Anyway, i eventually got the hang of it after doing about 2 on my own and felt very comfortable with it.
However, on a side note, I am very suprised that some FIs refuse to do it with students. I feel it should be down to the instructor to TEACH the student, and not have a "lets forget the spin i dont like doing them" attitude. If you found out they crashed (god help them)...then it would be YOU at fault for not showing them should they have got into a position to stall and spin.
Smooth skies to all
