I asked the question about whether or not you had experience with ab initio training, not to be jerk but because this thread is about spins in the context of the PPL, or ab initio training.
Big Pistons

Many moons ago when I did my PPL training we had to spin. Ok a 152 but spins are fun stable and far more pleasant than the spiral dive which itself is aerobatic and in my opinion also carries a risk of breaking the aeroplane.

That is not my point!!! It is a change of emphasis from handling pilots to training to recovery to incipient in numerous areas.

That worrries me as we are not training pilots to experience and deal with situations they may get into which are beyond incipient.

Forget spinning for a moment as this goes further than the spin but looks at training which is becoming more and more avoidance and hence a dangerous principal to follow.

Sadly avoidance is short sighted as avoidance is often missed leading to full blown in reality
