I found that an oddity about PPL training, the fact that you do incipient spin but not the fully developed one. I have to do spins every year as part of my glider recert, what's so different about powered? (I might add that spinning is the best way to loose height in a glider, someone I know, cough, happily span down from 11,000 to 2,000 in a very short space of time)
Edit: In case there are lunatics reading this who thing 'Der, I'll give that a go then' I will add the rider that it's the best way to loose height quickly providing you have lots and lots to start with, aren't barking enough to leave it too late to apply anti spin control, are in a glider that you are completely familiar with and that will spin in the first place
