Annual Glider Spin Check

By the way the majority of glider stall/spin accidents occur below 400 ft AGL.....
I do not understand why so many glider spin checkers are insistent on allowing the spin to go through a full turn before beginning recovery

It builds a bad muscle memory that will turn out very badly turning base or final

I'd far prefer an emphasis on recognition and prompt recovery from incipient spins.

The current annual spin check protocol has it bass ackwards in my book.
