The sad facts is that many airplanes will not recover from a
fully developed spin with the CG aft of the utility category
limit or with three people onboard or any baggage. If a
student gets into a spin and there is any delay in recovery
or any "fight" over the controls, the outcome will be
tragic.

Some maneuvers should not be done with any passengers, even
an observer or CFI in the back seats.


The meeting was a good thing as was the decision not to fly
that day. The boss's support was good too.

The crash occurred in a Beechcraft Travelair (a multi-engine airplane) and
there is no published procedure on how to even recover from a spin in one
of these aircraft should a spin develop.


My understanding is most multi-engine planes will not recover from a spin.
They tend to spin flat without a chance of recovery.
