I haven't done spins since 1990 so I don't remember the numbers exactly. From the SPORTYS catalog... Basic Aerobatic Manual [Paperback] Part #: Q00161 Author: William K Kershner Pages: 100 Cool. I have his flight instructor's manual based on recommendations here. It's a reference in my lesson plan along with the Jeppeson Commercial book. Just wondering if other people have other experience; for example, some people say at C-152 will unstall itself into a steep spiral descent. Turns out you can search for "Cessna spin" in YouTube.com and see all kinds of great videos of people spinning 'em. One of 'em just shows the instrument panel so you can see when the spin develops (airspeed drops to zero) and see how much altitude is lost per second. Can also see the airspeed start to increase dramatically as the stall is broken. Cool! There's even chase-plane video of Cessnas doing spins. Some of those guys are starting at 5,000 feet indicated or lower, which seems insane. I'd think you'd want to start at 8,000 or 9,000 just for safety in case things don't go as planned. (cockpit object falls under the rudder pedal or something) Well, that can happen and has happened to a lot of people. But if you go up to 9 grand two up in a 150 you got another emergency anyway, cause you're out of gas! I'd be happy enough at five with a floor of three Bertie .....not to mention the fact that it might take you past the 100 hour to get up there :-))) -- Dudley Henriques |
