  • CHAPTER 3. FLIGHT TRAINING: SPINS › 300. SPIN TRAINING › a. Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins

    Spin training must be accomplished in an aircraft that is approved for spins. Before practicing intentional spins, the AFM or POH should be consulted for the proper entry and recovery techniques. b. The training should begin by practicing both power ... power-off stalls to familiarize the applicant with the aircraft's stall characteristics. Spin avoidance, incipient spins, actual spin entry, spin, and spin recovery techniques should be practiced from an altitude above 3,500 feet AGL. c. Spin avoidance training…

  • Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Spin Awareness

    keep the nose from yawing and the wings from banking. Modern airplanes tend to be more reluctant to spin compared to older designs, however it is not impossible for them to spin. Mishandling the controls in turns, stalls, and uncoordinated ... slow flight can put even the most reluctant airplanes into an accidental spin. Proficiency in avoiding conditions that could lead to an accidental stall/spin situation, and in promptly taking the correct actions to recover to normal flight, is essential…

  • CHAPTER 1. GROUND TRAINING: STALL AND SPIN AWARENESS › 111. SPIN RECOVERY

    SPIN RECOVERY. Before flying any aircraft in which spins are to be conducted, the pilot should be familiar with the operating characteristics and standard operating procedures, including spin recovery techniques, specified in the approved AFM or POH. The first step ... recovering from an upright spin is to close the throttle completely to eliminate power and minimize the loss of altitude. If the particular aircraft spin recovery techniques are not known, the next step is to neutralize the ailerons, determine…

  • Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Recovery Phase

    flaps and/or retractable landing gear are extended prior to the spin, they should be retracted as soon as practicable after spin entry. Figure 5-17. Spin recovery template. The following discussion explains each of the six steps a pilot should ... follow for spin recovery: 1. Reduce the power (throttle) to idle. Power aggravates spin characteristics. It can result in a flatter spin attitude and usually increases the rate of rotation. 2. Position the ailerons to neutral. Ailerons may have…

  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Spin Awareness and Stalls › Spin Awareness

    Spin Awareness and Stalls No multiengine airplane is approved for spins, and their spin recovery characteristics are generally very poor. It is therefore prudent to practice spin avoidance and maintain a high awareness of situations that can result ... inadvertent spin. Spin Awareness In order to spin any airplane, a stalled condition needs to exist. At the stall, the presence or introduction of a yawing moment can initiate spin entry. In a multiengine airplane, the yawing moment…

  • 14 CFR § 61.183 Eligibility requirements.

    Eligibility requirements. entry, spins, and spin recovery procedures after providing the applicant with flight training in those training areas in an airplane or glider, as appropriate, that is certificated for spins; and (2) Demonstrate instructional proficiency in stall awareness, spin ... entry, spins, and spin recovery procedures. However, upon presentation of the endorsement specified in paragraph (i)(1) of this section an examiner may accept that endorsement as satisfactory evidence of instructional proficiency in stall awareness, spin entry, spins, and spin…
