How can you teach spin awareness without at least entering the early parts of a spin?
I have a big problem getting my head around any incipient training for one reason.
The time you are likely to enter any of these situations are more likely to be when you are not aware.
Distracted in a panic? your full attention somewhere else? Ie the first you are likely to know is when your in the full blooded thing!!!
Loss of control in cloud is easy and hence a further arguement for traing pilots to handle aircraft properly and not to incipient.
Often a VFR pilot will get in cloud because they are forced to by lowering cloud reducing visibility and rising ground.
It is not only then that visual reference can be lost. Crossing water VFR in poor vis can disorientate the VFR pilot and that is VFR out of cloud!
Incipient is just not good enough
