Many areas of the country where flight instruction is conducted often have restricted visibility due to haze, pollution ... other factors that aggravate a potential collision hazard. Airspace in these areas may also be complex and subject to restrictions. Conducting certain maneuvers can also create hazards and potential risks. For example, practicing full stalls can result in inadvertent spins…
