Training

Agree with PJ and Dozy but here's my two-penneth on training;

As a PuT in '83 I was taught spin recovery. Shortly after I qualified it was removed from the syllabus and only incipient spin recovery taught, reasoning: climbing repeatedly to a safe altitude used up too much time.

Two years later as a trainee flying instructor I had to demonstrate spin recovery from the right hand seat. Somehow the sight of the ground rotating towards me ensured I never allowed an A/C to get into a situation whereby I might need that skill.

I believe it's called imprint memory.
