Some really excellent comments here, whats the thoughts on spin training as part of UA?
How and by whom? I've been an instructor for twenty years now and spin training was already deleted from the syllabus when I got my own license. My instructor training didn't include spinning either. None of our training aircraft (mostly Pipers) is cleared for spinning. So we would have to send our students to some aerobatics instructor who does the training on his Pitts or Extra. Totally different aeroplanes from what they are going to fly with their PPL. Different spinning behavior, different recovery technique. We rather teach stall avoidance and proper speed control instead.
