Cessna 152 spin integrity
As an 80 year old ex-pilot, I am astonished at all this talk about spins by
presumibly experienced pilots! When I went thru training a century ago, we did spins before we soloed! Of course, virtually every aircraft in that day was prone to inadvertant spins, whereas GA aircraft today are almost incapable of spinning. In addition, we were recovering from unusual attitudes under the hood (needle, ball and airspeed, no gyros) and recovering from inverted with minimum loss of altitude (don't remember what the minimum was at the time, but it wasn't much) before we were signed off as competent of unconditional flight. I really enjoy this NG, learning a lot about all the aids and equipment available nowdays, and especially enjoy the discussions on airmanship. They grounded my ass quite some time ago, but my heart is still in the air. |
