Dan, Beagle, thanks - that confirms my reply about RAF training.

One thing to remember is that an incipient spin can occur in any attitude, such as during aerobatics. Talk of heading change and wing drop is more relevant to straight and level stall/spin entry.

Civilian students, at least at PPL level, and probably at CPL level, are unlikely to see the former unless they are being taught beyond the normal syllabus.

The Bulldog "spin off manoeuvre" was demonstrated to UAS students. IIRC, this was done by applying pro spin control during a loop, at least, that is what I remember doing.

I used to enjoy this part of the syllabus, most students didn't...
