Never having been in IMC I can partly understand. After all, some
places never get IMC.

Perhaps you could name a school that is actually not doing spins,
stalls, or teaching flight planning.

I'm not that stupid to "name names" on usenet.

That said -- I know a CFII from a dedicated, go-full-time, CFI/Flight
Training program that doesn't know what an E-6B is, has never been in
IMC, and has never recovered from a spin.

And I stand by my assertion that there's a hole in the regulatory
language that you can drive a truck through -- there is no
*requirement* that the CFI candidate actually --Spin an airplane--
only that he/ she demonstrate "instructional proficiency."

While most reasonable people know what the intent of this paragraph of
the CFRs is, the intentional ambiguity is there -- and there are
people taking advantage of this fact.
