Dude, the point I was attempting to make was that
the textbook was wrong. If that single mistake, identifying SWP and VRS as one and the same, wasn't sufficiently problematic, it added to the confusion for, what? Five decades now?
VRS is
NOT SWP, even though several tens of thousands of pilots were taught to interchange the terms. Knowing the difference is the important point. It's especially important as you may expose yourself to conditions that could lead to bad outcomes from either or both in professional flying while in sanitary school settings you may not, or you may be taught by the book answers that aren't inclusive of ALL options. Example- my last several recurrent sessions did not include anything that wasn't in the FAA syllabus- until I asked for demonstration, practice. Vuichard recovery technique chief among them. The check airman was very familiar with it, he was a long line mountain pilot and an exceptional teacher...
