Repeating someone who wrote this earlier in the week : "Sure, we should stop training landings as well because that's where the majority of the accidents happen." The ignorance in this particular discussion has reached a level where it's beyond help. Well, presumably total accidents would increase if you stopped teaching landings. The point of this thread is that perhaps spin accidents will decrease if we stop teaching spinning. Whether that is true, I don't know, but the landing analogy is irrelevant. I am inclined to believe that spin training is good, if done properly. However, the impression I got out of spin training was "Wow, if it is that hard to make a glider spin, then I will certainly know if I am about to spin." If that is typical impression, then spin training may just teach pilots that they don't have to worry about spinning. |
