W...Hi Roger, interesting comments re spin training. When I was doing ab-initio in NZ I was taught spins the stall and boot rudder way, but since doing additional training in Australia, my instructors have used a method that starts from an assumed under-banked, over-ruddered slow speed turn, such that a low-hours pilot might get into near the ground.<br /><br />Generally the instructor puts the glider into a gentle banked turn at slowish speed, then feeds in more rudder and as speed slows and wing drops, he feeds in more aileron to try to lift the low wing until the spin develops, then it's over to me to recover.<br /><br />I think the latter method has helped me understand the danger signs near the ground.smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18417227482903157268noreply@blogger.com
