if you aren't stalled, you can't spin...so avoid a stall and you avoid the spin.

and that is why it isn't in the private pilot world anymore...we teach you to avoid stall and recover from stall....so avoid stalls and you avoid spins!
...sums it up really. Who has ever come close to the stage that a spin may occur? If you have, you've probably been flying your aircraft to its slowest limit and will be cautious of its 'bite'. Without knowing where the limits lie and still performing manoeuvres of this kind, you'd be silly. I fail to understand how a non-emergency inadvertant spin would occur. The PPL stall/spin awareness/recovery training is enough to cover what the PPL without an aeros cert/rating will encounter.

I'm advocate pushing the limits as much as possible that one feels confident to do, an inch at a time, but we must know the max and not exceed it whilst remaining in complete control at all times.

Fly safe
