EAA - In the Loop - The Hands-off Beggs/Mueller Emergency Spin Recovery Procedure
Checkboard,
Letting go for recovery is a good thing, but really doesn't need much 'training'.
If you want to practice spin recovery as a 'life saver' you need to practice fully developed spinning, in an aircraft that requires 'conventional' recovery techniques.
It seems pointless to practice something that requires no skill -' let go and you'll be right son!'
What we need people to practice, is what to do if "letting go" doesn't work. Then they will need to conduct the spin recovery procedure.
It is also import (IMO) to show pilots what spinning looks/feels like, and show them that there is nothing to be frightened of. Identify the spin, recover!
