I love the spin trainning offered up here in canada, they not only demo a spin, but allow you in parts of your trainning to enter the spin/spiral from whatever config. they like and then recover on your own.. I feel it has not only made me a safer pilot to fly with, but more confident in my skills, because of spins, i dont fear the unknown of 'what ifs' after slow flight and stalls, because i've been there and seen what happens... after a while it actually gets kinda fun, even through the seriousness of the lesson you realize that you are in complete control of an out of control aircraft. I feel spins should be a crucial part in every phase of aviation training, these techniques and skills can be called upon at any time during your carreer.

The Hangar / Pilot Journey Article Discussions / The Role of Aerobatics in Emergency Training

Well, as with most accidents the pilots decision making skills are highly important to the outcome of the incident. For example, it is very easy to say that a pilot with less than 100 hours will react to a situtation differently then say a pilot with 200 hours, and that pilot will react different then the one with 2000 hours. As you can see the list goes on. Experience and knowledge of the plane are of the most crucial importance when faced with an emergency. I have roughly 150 hours, and each time i'm faced with a simulated emergency i see myself reacting in different ways. When I was doing my private ride, when we throttled back to simulate engine failures, my first instinct was to hold the nose up to try to keep climbing, now with my experience, when i have an engine failure, i look at the ground below me to see whats the closest, cleanest spot to land and fly the plane to it. Aerobatics training I feel may introduce a pilot to 'unusual' attitudes, however i feel that when faced with an emergency, it is not the aerobatics training that will lead to a safe conclusion. well that is my little rant for now :p I would like to hear other inputs on this as well!!! curious to see!!!!

Hey all, my name is Nick, I'm one of the moderators of these lovely forums. I fly Cessna 172's, Diamond Eclipse's (very much like the katana) and the piper seminole (PA44-180), I have my commercial license, with my multi rating and I'm working slowly toward IFR rating. I'm based out of Moncton Flight College, we operate off of ramp 4 at the Greater Moncton International, CYQM. Check out my bio, there's more about me there!!
Nick :cool:
