The thread "Any Spins Lately" made me wonder. If an instructor does
not teach spin recovery, is it worthwhile to find someone that teaches
spin recovery and take a few lessons before the first solo. If not,
then when would be a good time to do upset and spin recovery training.
Before my first cross country solo or after I get my certificate.

In my case my instructor is close by, but does not do spin recovery
training. I am quite happy with him and have no plans on switching.
However, there is an aerobatics instructor about 60 miles away that I
could use for spin training.- Hide quoted text -

Dudley gave you some good advice. Why not discuss it with your
instructor? I certainly wouldn't object if you were my student. Not
that it matters, but I found out about spins on my first solo back in
the 50's when I got sloppy on a power on (departure stall) and ended
up on my back entering a spin. Then I spent the better part of the
hour doing spins over and over before I came back for the obligatory 5
take offs and landings (remember, this was over 50 years ago). when I
got back in, my instructor asked where I'd been and what I'd done.
when I told him I did some spins, he just said "OK" and that was it.
That was in a J-5 Piper. Not a BFD then. It still isn't.
