This would be a new one on me. I spin my Cherokee regularly and have never run across this problem. Are you saying that your airspeed is building up during the spin? If that's the case, I'd venture to guess that you are in a spiral dive rather than a spin. In most of the planes I've spun, airspeed does not increase with the duration of the spinning. I end up with about the same speed at the end of one turn or four turns. Maybe I'm misinterpreting "let it go too long". John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |

I waa about to address that one as well as high G loads on recovery. It requires the aircraft to be stalled for the spin, and if its stalled, the airspeed isn't building! If there is excessive G loading at time of recovery, it would suggest someone isn't doing a smooth recovery and is applying way too much control pressures which could result in a secondary and an unanticipated stall/spin going in a unknown direction? Been my experience in thousands of spins that the airspeed is well within the norms and without excessive G loading. As for the gyros, I haven't seen them deteriorate below IFR standards after a lot of spins. Once upon a time, back 30-40 years ago that was not the case. Best Regards Ol S&B |
