Chris Reed wrote: One of my favourite exercises for my annual checkouts as a UK Basic Instructor is the spin off a simulated winch launch (only try this at height with an appropriate instructor with you!). Simulate a winch launch by diving to 90 kt and then pulling up at 45 degrees. As the speed drops to about 60 kt cry "BANG - cable break", and push over into the normal flying attitude. The moment normal attitude is reached, begin a co-ordinated turn. I've recently been doing this as a student and personally I found it a very valuable lesson as (a) it required no "forcing" from the instructor to initiate the spin and (b) it makes you realise how quickly you can transition from an apparently normal flying attitude into a serious situation.
