The lack of aerobatic training aircraft and the almost total lack of instructors who can do it, however, is a problem.
If we are looking at spins most trainers will spin well there are just a few bad boys.
The problem appeared in the past to be the lack of suitably trained instructors
I really do want to take the emphasis away from spinning as if it is unique and bundle it up with all what you could call out of the box behaviours!
The problem I have with avoidance which is obviously the best thing to do is that it leaves a big dollop of unknown " what if I mess up what will happen? What do I do ? Am I in a spiral dive or spin? Will I react instinctively and identify instinctively what is happening ? "
The biggest fear is fear of the unknown take away the unknown and it has to make for a more confident and capable pilot should anything ever happen.
I am not trying to take away from the avoid method of training as avoid always has to be better and in a perfect world is but ??? Maybe I just had a different generation of instructor /examiners
