  • I put an incorrect FAR number in the original edit of this video that I only noticed after uploading. The flight was operated in adherence to 91.155.
    SPINS! Only CFI applicants have to do them in the US but I think everyone should be exposed to them at least once.
    Key words from this video: 'Nice and easy'... haha

      What Peter is talking about is the wrong instructional technique. It is funny and can be used to someone who is equally understanding the joke, yet it should remain a joke. Rather than being scared, you should understand it. Have the best way to instantly avoid stall and spin, have that reaction, proper techniques and also have the skill to recover (it is easy) once it happens. Fear kills. Do not fear. Practice and understand then you can stay calm and collected in upset recoveries.

    The first time I accidentally spun a plane as a student, I panicked, screamed, and let go of everything. The C152 self corrected. My instructor looked at me and said, completely deadpan, "You've never spun a plane before..." I looked at him: "IS THAT WHAT THAT WAS???" He smiled: "Get your ass back up there and do it again." And that's all we did for the rest of the lesson. It was fabulous. One of the best lessons I ever had.

The idea being that if you spin base to final, knowing spin recovery is not going to save you at that point. Spin prevention may have gotten you out of that situation in the first place. I understand both perspectives ( also spin training was pretty fun ).

    This brings back memories as a young CFI student doing spins for the first time almost 50 years ago. Of course, there was no internet, smart phones, personal computers, small cam's, nice Bose headsets, but interestingly there were still Cessna 150's, 152's, and 172's. I don't remember doing them from a power on stall, that must be more of how it is done today. At the airline level, we teach extended envelope training on the 747 where we do full deep stall recoveries from high altitude along with upsets, bounced landing recovery, etc. Closest thing we have to having fun like the spins used to be...

    In all honesty from student pilot to instructor thank you for instructing the way that you do, as a student pilot for the past couple years I have found that a more enthusiastic instructor makes things a hell of a lot more easier and fun at the same time. You remind me of my now instrument instructor, when it’s time to get serious we are serious and I am taught till I understand and then when everything is going good then it’s time to have a little fun and crack jokes. Even when I mess up my instructor just giggles and laughs because he knows that in order to learn you have to make mistakes sometimes. I’m 2 hours away from 100 hours and am still learning new stuff every day. Literally just last month I was coming in to do a circle to land from an RNAV GPS approach and had to go around 3 times, the wind was killer that night but all he did was sit back and give small pointers and let me learn. And then on the ground after landing we laughed and still talk about it today. That’s what makes training and being a student pilot fun. And you remind me of just that type of instructor. Don’t stop instructing the way you do. I’m telling you as a student pilot it makes us feel welcomed and comfortable and happy to get in the plane each and every time!

    @dennisk5818 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I recall my first spin recovery flight in a 2-33 glider. Since we don't have a power plant, we really pull the stick back to put it into a stall. You've got to really get it to stall fast, otherwise it'll nose down and recover speed. Once the firm stall starts, then the hard rudder followed by firm opposite and slow but deliberate stick back so to not overspeed. The 2-33 is tough to stall, but when it did and the spin developed, all I recall is looking at the ground and hanging in the straps. Lots of fun and you've got to do it once in a while to keep in practice. Thermaling keeps us close to the edge of a spin, especially with tight bank and maintaining enough velocity to thermal.

I mean it was like one lesson on spin recovery and then soon after going solo you're out there practicing this.

It was totally cool and from a ground perspective, visually interesting- ya just don't see that every day.

    It was around that time that I was getting instruction on Long Island on a cold February morning. Instructor is putting me through the paces and I am trying to catch up to the plane and the instruct or at the same time! He then if he could shut the open air vent since he was freezing.

  • @TheAverageDutchman
    @TheAverageDutchman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I can also recommend if you ever get the chance to do some spin training in a glider. The long wings really give a good feel for what is happening to the aircraft from normal flight to incipient stall, to start of autorotation into full rotation. The Cessna also seems rather "friendly" going into the stall. Slow to pick up rotation and really needs to be kicked into the spin. Some aircraft (especially high performance gliders and aircraft from the 80 and early 90s) can be rather violent going into a spin. One moment your flying pretty much normally, the next the world is revolving around you.

      Its the pure thought of the plane not Flying Normally, and all of sudden flipping straight down either to the right ,or to the left. Usually its to the Left, when you know in your mind that the plane shouldn't do that, and the plane doesn't want to do this, it wants to fly straight, but the instructor is MAKING it fly drastically uncoordinated.
      This is perfectly safe at a high altitudes such as 7000 AGL. HOWEVER this can happen to you at a lower altitudes such as if you are sightseeing on a specific object or Animal, or on take off, and landings.
      The only difference is that you are getting comfortable flying UNCOORDINATED, and YOU are unknowingly making this happen!
      At a low altitudes this is very dangerous ,and what happens is that you pannick, and your 1st thoughts is to pull drastically back on the YOKE, and that's how you go into the "SPIN" except its to late to recover if you are very low!
      your instructor is making you feel what this is like at a higher altitudes in order for you to be aware of this situation, and how to recover!

    Interesting video, as we need to dispel the unknowns and fear of stalls and spins. A couple of comments; a C-172 was designed to be difficult to spin , thus the holding complete left or right rudder to maintain the rotation. Release/opposite rudder quickly stops rotation and the spin. A spin requires two simultaneous conditions; a stall and yaw (rotation). No stall equals a spiral. Not good as speed increases rapidly ! No yaw equals a simple stall. Also, for the C-172, spins are allowed, per flight manual, with front seat occupants only !! ( Utility Category). Any rear seat passengers, the C-172 is Normal Category ! Very important because of aft CG problems and difficult recovery!! A C150/C-152, on the other hand, was designed to be a training aircraft with a different wing that allowed much “easier” spin entry. Years of spin accident records show a much higher rate in a C-150/C-152 !
    Upset recovery, unusual attitudes, spin training or whatever it may be named is always great to have. Find a competent instructor, see for yourself, “tame the beast” and be a better pilot ! Your passengers deserve it! 👍🏻😎

    I feel doing spin training in aircraft that basically recover on their own isn't valuable. After getting my PPL in a Piper Warrior, and then getting my tailwheel in an aerobatic Citabria immediately afterward, I asked to do spins. My instructor didn't want to and was baffled why I wanted to, but I insisted. Was a great flight, and I learned stall recovery in an aircraft that would never recover on its own (and that would re-enter the spin in the opposite direction if you did it wrong).
    Later on during my CFI training in a C-172 (different state, different airport, different instructors), we did spin training and it felt inadequate, as it took multiple tries to get the plane to even spin, and then the recovery was simply "stop forcing it to spin". We'd go through the motions, but having done proper spins/recovery before, the training didn't feel valuable to me. For those who've only ever spun in these aircraft, they may not be fully prepared to recover in a different less forgiving airplane.

    I have my Cfi initial check ride this upcoming friday and just did my spin flight the other day. I noticed he is like me and still getting used to flying with his right hand haha. My instructor had to remind me to have my left hand ready to pull the throttle to idle bc I kept having it on the yoke. Haha great video and being I did my spin last week, it def was familiar with me 👍🏽

    I am not sure how it works in the states, but here in Europe (Switzerland) during a regular PPL training, we dont learn spin recovery. You only do it during training for flight-Instructor.
    In my opinion EVERY pilot should learn to recover from a spin.

    I wonder if the USAF sold any T-37s when they retired them. I did spin training for CFI students in a Cherokee and you had to work to keep it spinning. The T-37 spun like a top! Inverted spins, flat spins, it just spun. It was great training and lots of fun. It's a good thing they got it out of our systems before the T-38, it would kill you if you managed to spin it. Fortunately it was pretty resistant to spin but even harder to recover.

    I believe spin training should be given in primary training if the student is flying a Cessna. I got into a spin, flying a Cessna 150, as a student pilot. I had no idea how to recover from a spin, luckily I was with an instructor. When I became a flight instructor I made it a point to teach my students spins before allowing them to practice stalls while flying solo. I had one student, on a solo flight, get into a spin while practicing stalls. When he got back on the ground he thanked me for teaching him how to recover from a spin.

    Did I miss it? Where was the fully developed spin? That was an incipient spin.
    I never saw any forward input on the yoke to break the stall, which is straight from Cessna's POH.
    Proper spin recovery procedure should be taught since not all airplanes are as docile and forgiving as a C-172.
    1. Power to idle
    2. Ailerons neutral.
    3. Full opposite rudder and hold.
    4. Brisk forward movement of the yoke/stick.
    5. Recover from the ensuing dive.

    Clearly shows if you get into a spin on takeoff, you aren't going to have time to recover. 26 years ago during one of my first few lessons, and before any of the book work, my instructor didn’t correct me on being uncoordinated during a power on stall and a full 2 turn spin developed. Scared the life from me and I nearly quit training. Ever since that day I am very guarded and reluctant to do power on stalls.
