The loads on spin recovery can be quite unpredictable,
especially if the recovery pull-up is done with some
twisting moment still present on the tail - hence we
are trained to stop the spin, unstall the wings, recover,
not one 'pot-stirring', stress-inducing manoeuvre.


This is an interesting point - I guess lots of pilots employ a mushy
some/loads/a bit of rudder (very slightly ahead of ) stick-forward.
Quickly followed by pull back.

We do this because it works and no one has explained exactly WHY
there are mysterious pauses in the official spin recovery.
