Genghus - all the emergencies should be coverd during the course
But they aren't are they. There's a simple reason for this - they aren't covered in the skill test, and the schools are training to pass the test. Anything untested is given no more than lip service.

Which is not unique to flying schools, it's true of any educational system. Virtually all teachers train to the test.


I have a personal opinion that the current 3hr CRI course is inadequate so spinning should be covered during that as wel
It was covered in my CRI course, which ran to about 6 hours plus the skill test, for what it's worth. Although, I've always maintained currency in spinning anyhow - that has always been a personal choice.
