Here is a good example of an unintentional stall-spin captured on
video, but at altitude. About 1/2 way through the recording, notice
the pilot's airspeed just before he begins a right turn (you can see
the yellow arc on the ASI). Note his control inputs as he
inadvertantly starts the spin. You can see his rudder movements and
his stick inputs pretty clearly (I think I see him retracting flaps
possibly too). He even narrates what he did to recover.... then I
think he recognizes one thing he might have done a bit differently. He
recovered nevertheless; question is would he have been successful much
closer to the ground? Could a sudden lift-gust toss someone low into a
non-recoverable? Think he gained or lost altitude in the spin
(surprise; watch the altimeter). By the way, the pilot has some
fantastic videos; thanks to him for sharing them.
