Sunday's accident was a spinning one (which as Al observed
is not known at present). I've no idea how many World-wide,
I've never seen any international accident statistics.

Your numbers are probably right but you're missing
the point. The issue is more likely to be of type familiarity
and recency in general, not the fact that a particular

This morning I learned that another Puchacz has spun

intentional spins and recoveries.

Any UK pilots know more about this?

Does this make it 15 or 16 fatal spin ins in this
type?
