On that point I disagree if pilots are not trained in spin recovery or out of the box aircraft handling they are partially trained!
Take the tragic PC12 crash???
As an ex racing driver I know only too well about driving a car out of the box.
Without that ability you could never drive fast.
Because the training caused more accidents is not an argument to stop pilots being fully trained but a fault in the aircraft used or the capabilities of the instructors.
IE A pilot who goes off and does 5 hrs aerobatic training in an aerobatic certificate aircraft with a properly rated instructor will be a more capable pilot than if he never did such training?
Or are you saying he will be just as capable without that out of the box training?
It is all very well training pilots to recovery to incipient this or incipient that until the day the aircraft goes beyond incipient and then where does that leave him? In uncharted territory and in the arms of the Gods?
Then sadly you get tragic accidents like the recent PC12 crash.
