Let's talk spins......

Glad I could help out, I feel that it is very important to at least demonstrate so that the student can recognize the situation or else when the crap hits the fan then what? It should help reduce the panic situation or fear that comes with the word "spins" once you have seen the entry and can see how easily to avoid/or recover they arent so bad.

the most important thing a student can do is just to look outside while practicing these maneuvers learn to recognize the drifting of the horizon and how to just use the "feet" to stop the movement of the horizon. If they can see that they wont get into a spin during a stall maneuver. And if the wing does come over at least then you have explained how to fix it and can just sit there and tell them to recover with out reaching for the controls.

If you are scared of spins yourself and always reach for the controls how will the student learn that its ok and they can fix it too....

I enjoy teaching primarys for some sick reason I currently am carrying 14 of them...

To Flyingnome; It is refreshing to hear from a motivated instructor who seems dedicated to his students.

To UndauntedFlyer; Thanks for introducing a thought-provoking thread. Let me guess; you just happen to have a Decathlon you offer dual in.

Thanks for the compliment. I really don't offer dual training in my Decathlon because the insurance for a commercial operation is so expensive.
