I'm just a PPL. I've been taught entry and recovery from spins in Tiger Moth, Chipmunk, C150, C152, and Zlin242L. Each time the instruction was:
Power off. No aileron. Full opposite rudder. Stick progressively forward until spin stops. Centralise controls. Pull out of dive.
I was told the use of aileron to try to lift the more stalled wing would increase the spin forces. I follow the logic of that. Can someone explain the rational for aileron use in simple terms? Both wings are stalled.
P.S. Might it be possible to enter a spin inadvertantly from cruise in turbulence? I'm remembering two NTSB reports of spins.
