Spin training at high wycombe in c152

Yep. They DO teach spins in the Cessna 152 at the Booker Flying outfit at High Wycombe! The CESSNA 152 can be used for spin training, and works very well. Not all variants are approved for this, so ask. And not all instructors are confident or EXPERIENCED ENOUGH to do this training!

Looks well on the way to being a lost art, except in gliders, of course.

But your education is not complete if you avoided what the Wright Brothers called "well digging!".

Story goes that a spin was always fatal, in those early days, because the pilot on seeing the ground rushing up at him, pulled back on the stick like mad.
Until one guy, deciding may as well get over it quickly, moved the stick forward instead.....

It is counterintuitive, you know.
