Stall/Spin Training
AMC1 FCL.210.A PPL(A) – Experience requirements and crediting
FLIGHT INSTRUCTION FOR THE PPL(A)
FLIGHT INSTRUCTION FOR THE PPL(A)
(xiv) Exercise 11: Spin avoidance:
(A) safety checks;
(B) stalling and recovery at the incipient spin stage (stall with excessive wing drop, about 45°);
(C) instructor induced distractions during the stall.
Note 1: at least two hours of stall awareness and spin avoidance flight training should be completed during the course.

Out of interest: "at least two hours of stall awareness and spin avoidance flight training" seems to me that means undertaking that training for 2 hours rather than, for example, doing two flights of an hour each where such training was undertaken? If I do such a one hour flight from where I am based I would spend about 25 minutes max doing the stall/spin avoidance exercises.

Having carried out such instruction for a long time, albeit mainly prior to aerobatic training, the idea is to familiarise yourself with the physical/visual situation of any Unusual Position, to recognise it and to safely recover with minimum height loss.
IMHO this requires as many hours practice as is needed to feel comfortable with your recoveries.
There have been too many fatal accidents caused by spinning off the Finals turn, mishandling in poor visibility and just flicking off an over-enthusiastic steep turn at low level. It’s for your own good.
CASA's sample training syllabus here has two 1 hr flights so I'm interested in the meaning of that note.

After completing exercise 10 you’re probably not far off 2 hrs SSAT anyways, but it is far better to review some stall awareness/avoidance often during the course - just 10-15 minutes every 2 months or so. Keeps it all fresh in the students thoughts. Never have too much SSAT in your book.
