Crap Mark, do you think before you press *send*? It rarely seems so.

I've read your entries, MB, and, in common with Stefan,
have been dismayed by your comments on recognising
and recovering from spins and spiral dives. Rather
than teaching these exercises and trying to impart
your 'knowledge' on this forum, you should have a bit
of remedial instruction yourself. Your reactions to
spinning should be automatic, there should be absolutely
no need to check your ASI to see if your spinning or
in a spiral dive. If you are in a spin you should
positively move the stick forward, not 'release the
back pressure'. Releasing the back pressure at the
buffet should prevent a spin developing.
