High flung dung, thanks for that! It's a problem with mobile devices.
I agree with the comments regarding CPL training, and FI courses. Trouble is there are people who aren't comfortable with unusual attitudes, including instructors. They'll "survive" that part with a pass and avoid it ever after. Plus I have a feeling that, from a Commercial perspective at least, airlines are less interested in the ability to nail a spin recovery on axis, than in the ability to fit into a procedure regime which probably doesn't involve deliberate spinning.
I also agree with the suggestion for further training. So far, spun and aerobated PittsS2, Tiger Moth and Chipmunk. More S2 time to follow. For me a good way to beat the demon is to know and love the demon, but I'm lucky to have the opportunity to do this. I did the AOPA Basic Aeros course a while back. At the end of every sortie we would use a spin to lose additional height to rejoin the circuit. Yes, just a spam can, but still better than nothing.
I'm very glad to see instructors discussing this and sharing thoughts. Thanks!
