Stealth,

and
you were turning on to final in turbulence.


None of the comparable aircraft (e.g. the Bo) will be recoverable from
a fully developed spin in less than the minimum altitude required by
the chute (aroudn 800 feet, IIRC). However, getting a fully developed
spin on final will be difficult.

In the article referenced at the beginning of this thread segment, the
"CIRRUS Engineer" mentioned his own first spin experience--in which he
really didn't know which direction he was spinning. That mirrors my own
first spin experience, with one very important difference--my first spin was
part of spin training which I received after I demanded it, while his first
spin was inadvertant and he was lucky enough to push the rudder the correct
direction and survive.

My point is that, recovery from the initail stall--or, in the worst case,
the incipient spin--requires recognition, which in turn requires recent
experience.

BTW, those spins looked pretty slow and lazy, in a C-152, after enough
practice.
