I just read Bill Dean's post and the quote from the
BGA instructor's manual, to wit:

'As this training progresses, it is necessary to introduce
brief spins where
the ground is noticeably close. This is to ensure
that the trainee will
take the correct recovery action even when the nose
is down and the ground
approaching. A very experienced instructor flying
a docile two seater in
ideal conditions may be prepared to initiate a brief
spin from 800'. A
less docile two seater with a less experienced instructor,
or less than
ideal conditions, should raise the minimum height considerably.'

Dumb.

why dumb? the experience of ground rush is a very good
inforcement lesson as to why you dont mess with low
slow over ruddered flat turns!
