Unless you're training for the PPL here in Canada, where spins and recovery
are part of the required syllabus at about lesson 11.

For spin recovery:
1. Apply and maintain full rudder opposite the direction of rotation.
2. As the rudder hits the stop, rapidly move the control wheel full
forward and be ready to relax the forward pressure when the spin
rotation has stopped.
3. As rotation stops, neutralize the rudder and smoothly recover from
the dive.
Normal recoveries may take up to 1-1/2 turns when proper technique is
used; improper techniques can increase the turns to recover and the
resulting altitude loss.


I hope anybody who's thinking of spinning an airplane doesn't read the
above and think they can just go out and try it. If you want to do
this, get some training first, and get it from somebody who flies and
teaches acro, not from your local CFI who has more bravado than brains.
