When spin instruction was stopped it was because more aircraft were lost training in spin instruction than for real!
Does that mean students should not be taught spin recovery? NO!
It means the right machine with the right instructor should be used.
Pilots should be familiar with all situations they can get into to be properly trained as pilots.
The author of this thread highlights the poor level of training offered in the PPL at present as well as the other thread regarding fear of forced landings.
Recovery to incipient is just not good enough!
Not just for the reason that they dont know the difference or recovery from a spiral dive or spin but are even scared of stalls for fear of what they may get into if the stall is abused.
We now have got to the stage that Cirrus pilots are told to wreck the aircraft by pulling the chute as they are so poorly trained or current in PFLs and handling that the chute is the best option.
