- 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 3. FLIGHT TRAINING: SPINS › 301. SPIN TRAINING AND PARACHUTES
SPIN TRAINING AND PARACHUTES. Title 14 CFR part 91, § 91.307(c) prohibits the pilot of a civil aircraft from executing any intentional maneuver that exceeds 60° of bank relative to the horizon, or exceeds 30° nose-up or nose-down ... attitude relative to the horizon, unless an approved parachute is worn by each occupant (other than a crewmember). Section 91.307(d) states, in part, that § 91.307(c) does not apply to flight tests for a Pilot Certificate or rating…

should apply the correct amount of rudder to 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…
- 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…
- Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Intentional Spins
Intentional Spins If the manufacturer does not specifically approve an aircraft for spins, intentional spins are not authorized by the CFRs or suggested by this handbook. The official sources for determining whether the spin maneuver is approved are: ⦁ Type Certificate ... Data Sheets or the aircraft specifications ⦁ The limitation section of the FAA-approved AFM/ POH regarding and limiting gross weight, CG range, or amount of fuel ⦁ On a placard located in clear view of the pilot in the airplane…
