Of course the answer is good pre-solo spin training and mandatory annual spin checks at the start of each season: no spin checks, no fly.

Spin and Cloud Flying training are just too dangerous in the USA. And when IMC or a spin turn out bad, it's a Tragic Accident, not a Tragic Training Gap. The UK is reckless to provide training for these 'eventualities that should not happen' before they happen.
