• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Ouch, ouch, ouch! Although his spin procedures looked wrong. It still took around 12 turns after the engine failing before he got his nose down (after which his recovery was fairly "instant") He then had enough time to prepare a better landing. But of course it is easy to say that from the comfort of an armchair and without the adrenaline pumping and eyeballs spinning.

It does, however, remind real world people that spin recovery training should be better taught.

I have been solo in an inadvertant inverted flat spin from around 6000 ft so I can understand. Another story, but I am still here - and I have the baro trace to show. But after that my CFI started to teach us all how to recover from spins better.
