Student learns how to Spin (and recover) in a Cessna 150. This is a required skip for the Canadian Private Pilots License

Much better instructor than I was, so thorough and patient. I enjoyed my time instructing, and I think my students did too, but I always felt like I could do better than I was. She is what I wish I would’ve been, in that sense. Nice job to both of you. Being a humble student ready to learn, is just as important. A great instructor with a brick for a student is as bad as a bad instructor with someone who is thirsty to learn.

The scary thing is the loss of about 500ft on the first spin(and close to 700ft on his second attempt) ... shows you that on the base-to-final turn speed and attitude control is vital, no amount of spin recovery training will help you if she flicks with you down low ... marvelous instructor/student co-ordination throughout 👏

This brings back memories when I did spins in the late 60s. We did a full power and full flaps it took about 5 turns to recover. I was told later it was an Inverted spin? I'm 78 now and this brought it all back. Thank you

it should be encouraged and more available but required? that makes training more expensive for everyone and theres no clear data that suggests that it stops fatalities. The vast majority of spin/deaths happen in the pattern. and usually DW to Base or final. which makes it closer to 500ft. most will never recover 500ft in a full spin. putting yourself into a spin on purpose is one thing, but to botch the stall recovery and wind up in a spin is another. More training is always good. but to make it required is stretching sometimes.

@Ichibuns 5 жыл бұрын

Before maneuvers are done solo, they really need to be done. Just about any instructor can tell you about a time that a student has put them into a spin. It's not really more expensive to do. If you're in the utility category of an airplane that is rated for it. It takes no time at all and is pretty uneventful. Also, in IMC it's definitely a thing to consider.

My instructor was a hardass especially in stalls and spin training. Considering that you should basically never encounter a spin, and to make matter worse some aircraft are not even rated for spins at all like the Grumman American AA-5 . Let that bird get into a spin beyond I believe it's 3 rotations, you just signed your will. But in retrospect, I'm glad he taught me stall and spin recovery. Better to know how to do it than face being in one and NOT knowing how. That and crosswind landings are a solid test of man vs nature. As in: "It isn't natural to fly" we aren't given wings, so we need clunky cans with props, turbines, and now electrics to hopefully keep us up and in the air. But since flying isn't natural ,you need to be the master of your airplane. It doesn't fly you ,you fly it and if you make a mistake? The results speak for themselves. That was the most important lesson my Flight Instructor always stresses. Always keep control of your airplane, no matter what.

You have one of the few YT videos where it is finished correctly. You finish your spin in a CLIMB attitude and then go full power. Most other videos, people just bring the nose level and overspeed the prop or else only go to cruise power. One purpose of practicing stalls and spins is to get away from the ground after recovery. It's good to make it automatic IMHO

A MUST TRAINING for all new pilots.

Although not a requirement, my flight school in Concord Ca did spin training anyway. One of the 150's (this was in 1977) had tumbled gyro's so the did spin training in it. Great fun once I realized how quickly they recover.

December 1991 - First flying lesson my instructor wanted to get the measure of what kind of student I was going to be. He let me fly the 152 off the runway at Fort Pierce Int'l Fla and he was itching to have some fun and try and scare the cr@p out of me so he asked me if he could demo a spin telling me it wasn't required for FAA PPL as it was considered the "risks of the maneuver outweigh the learning benefits". I thought why not, my theory being it would be a cure for nerves. George took it up to 6,000 ft entered the spin and I had a nice view of the orange groves out of the front windshield until my field of view shifted to the cabin ceiling, my head back as we pulled out of the spin at 2,000 ft. Not sure how many rotations and how many G's but it took a while to wipe the smile of my face.

Spinning knowledge is vital for any rank of pilot. Above we see basic spinning, but there is a lot more to spinning then the movie above. Payload is a big isssue.high speed stall recovery vital to become really aware of the dangers. Recovery speed is a big debate. High speed stall in recovery, very tricky. The fatal mistake is transferring the knowledge to another airframe. retired CPL.

Hold it for tree rotations and you will feel it bite into the spin, an interesting technique for spin recovery in the 150/152 is to just let go of the controls, it takes a bit of nerve, but it works, if you leave 2000 rpm set it does a lovely pseudo flat spin, then just close the throttle and the nose will drop into a regular spin, those little aeroplanes are so unestimated and so much fun to fly.

(1200 hr dual given just for credibility) 3000' safe enough for spin training? I was never comfortable below 5000. Look at it this way in terms of ALT loss per spin; Turn 1 - ~500 (ALT remaining 2500) turn 2 - ~ 700 (1800' remain) Turn 3 - ~ 900(?) - (900 remain) Is that comfortable enough for you?

Currently doinCurrently doing my PPL, 10 flights so far and my instructor made a demo of a spin. We did 3 and man oh man I was sacred, I litteraly panicked for a brief moment. 3rd spin I was less scared but still, quite a lot. The day after, went for another flight and just hearing the stall buzzer was frightening me, so we only practiced stalls... Too scared to get a downward spiral demo... The worst part to me is the spin start phase... I don't know how I will overcome this... Maybe I can't... Not a rollercoster guy right off the bat so... Damn it... I love aviation and everything around it but maybe piloting, is not, afterall, for me... Well done there tho, great control of the aircraft and well recovered.

@headdown1 11 ай бұрын

Pilot training might well take you outside your comfort zone, but that is not a good reason to give it up. Think of spin training as insurance. It's something you need to have before a possible disaster strikes. I got my PPL in Canada and I can't imagine facing a spin situation for the first time in an actual emergency. The spins I did taught me to be methodical and unemotional in my recovery. I'm also a skydiver, and I think of this state of mind as being in the "astronaut zone". Like an astronaut, fear is not going to help you or make you safer during the actual event. It is only going to distract you from the task at hand, and is therefore counter - productive. The best way that I found to deal with my own fears has been to simply change the channel in my mind. When the fearful thoughts begin before a spin, force yourself to instead mentally rehearse what it is you need to do to recover. Think abut the mechanics of what you about to do. Intentionally change you thought process from one that is not helpful at all, to a thought process that not only is helpful, but also one that is a distraction from your fearful thoughts. It works for me anyway...

BOTH wings have to stall for a spin. You have to put one wing farther into the stall than the other. Eagle View HD is incorrect about recovery. Power Out immediately. Aileron neutral. Opposite rudder. With opposite rudder it will stop spinning pretty quickly in the Cessna. The idea is to be able to stop it quickly so you don't die when a spin is entered inadvertently. If you're in a 172, it's a lot of work to get into a spin. Those will pretty much recover themselves.

Sorry that is completely the WRONG way to teach/demonstrate a spin entry for purposes of spin recognition and avoidance (and subsequent recovery of course). Spin entry method used in training should always be off a slow over-ruddered (ie stalled skidding) gliding turn: THE WAY IT HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE!! As the Tiger Moth instructors used to drum into their students " don't stall and skid in a gliding turn, or for sure you'll crash and burn". This can also be turned into a good entry into a spiral dive by simply relaxing the back pressure on the elevator a little as the incipient spin transitions to the full spin, thereby providing a good demonstration of the differentiation of a spin from a spiral dive....critical of course for the recovery method to be applied.
