Default Spin ?

Having just read the other posts about the restrictions being only on
aerobatic maneuvers, I'll retract my statement. The only time the performer
was pointing toward the crowd was during level or nearly-level flight.

At a show just today, the announcer specifically mentioned the fact that

the
performers would not work over or toward the crowd. So I watched the
directions of their flights. I saw some non-military performers turn

toward
the crowd. In my estimation if they had lost control at about 200-300' AGL
their inertia alone would have carried them into the crowd.

It shows why exhibition pilots never work toward the crowd at air shows
in the US, and haven't for many years. One of those GOOD rules from the

FAA.
