Aerobatics question
A (non pilot but with some experience of gliding) friend of mine was given an aerobatic lesson for a present in a C152 Acrobat. He was regaling the exploits tonight and told of a flat spin entered at 3000 ft AGL, recovered at 'slightly less than' 700 ft.
Now, I've never flown acrobatics and don't have any desire to. But to me that seems incredibly reckless - not to say bordering on the illegal as 'slightly less than' 700 ft is only 'slightly more than' 500 ft. I'm hoping they were flying on QFE rather than QNH !
I was wondering whether this was normal practice ?
