On myth to quash here....
Spinning IS on the syllabus. It always HAS been and always WILL be.
Ex11A Spin Avoidance & Awareness - Recovery from incipient spin
MANDATORY
This exercise MUST appear in all log books as part of the 2 hours of stall spin training as required under JAR FCL-1. Any organisation FAILING to provide this training is NOT complying with JAR FCL.
Ex11B Fully Developed Spin Recoveries
OPTIONAL
This exercise is optional and is dependent on FOB of the RF/FTO in question, as well as the a/c CofA/FOM/POH and the discrection of the FI and student. My advice is simple - if its available and is offered - take it.
Hope this clears up comments like 'spinning is not in the syllabus' or 'spinning was removed from the syllabus' - If these comments are made by an instructor or an examiner then that person should themselves consider some retraining....and some time spent with the *actual* documents specifying what should be taught.
I also wish to endorse comments by stiknruda & flyingforfun....both damn good points.
