Any Spins Lately??

As a student, I requested spin training before solo. It caused a bit of
a problem because they had to scare up chutes to stay legal, but they made
it happen. I ain't no stunt pilot, but I have never been afraid of an
intentional stall.


A US CFI providing Spin Training to a student does not have or provide or wear
parachutes.
91.307(d)
Some might argue that a "pre-solo" student is not required to have spin
training, and 91.307(d) only exempts "required training".

I respectfully disagree. AFAIK, Spin training is only "required" for the
CFI rating. Spin training for all other ratings is optional, so the exception
of 91.307 (d) does not apply. (Yes! I know that there are other opinions
around. If your FSDO goes along with some other reading of that reg, then more
power to you.) ;-)
