What is the definition of a spin from the Airplane Flying A spin is an aggravated stall that typically occurs from a full stall with the
Handbook? airplane in a yawed flight condition.
A wing will always stall: At the same angle of attack.
A spin is described as an "aggravated stall" because: The wings are stalled unequally, leading to loss of stability and loss of control.
True or false: As longs as the wings are held level False
relative to the horizon, a spin will not occur:
As the incipient stage of the spin develops, the Will generally stabilize at a low and constant airspeed.
indicated airspeed:
A stall that occurs while the airplane is in a slipping or In the direction of rudder application, regardless of which wingtip is raised.
skidding turn can result in a spin entry:
Why is the spin training and spin recovery training Students may place the airplane into a spin and the CFI must know entry & how
required for the CFI? to recover
Students are naturally reluctant to perform Stall/ spin The Unknown
training due to
A stall/ spin can occur in multiple phases of flight, In critical phases of flight (Departure, Go-Arounds, Approaches)
however, when is it the most dangerous?
In a spin Both wings are stalled however 1 wing is more stalled
Since the spin will not develop unless the airplane is Practice stall recognition and recovery
stalled and yawed how can the pilot best prevent spins
