Default Re: Pucker Factor (War Stories)

I will only allow the aircraft to go into an incipient spin or full blown spin if the student has progressed along in his/her training far enough to know better than to become uncoordinated in a stall.

All I think to myself is, "here we go...."

As an instructor I DO NOT want to scare a student. That is counter productive. But givien enough experience, I do believe it is a good idea to introduce spins. I will ask if they want one demonstrated. If they are close to their checkride and uncoordinated then I will let it go to allow them to see what can happen
