Thank you to James
Frantz for his rational and sound opinion on stalls and spins.
Also, there was
an earlier opinion expressed that inexperienced pilot's are more
inclined to avoid training of full stalls and spins, and the experienced
are more inclined to practice them. Holding an ATP and
having accumulated 6000 hrs flying passengers commercially, the only full stalls
I've ever practiced were in Piper Cubs and Cessna 150/172s years ago. All
other training has been approaches to stalls and well defined recovery
procedures.
There a numerous
flight conditions I could explore to see how I handled them (Vne +
100, CFIT, inverted flight, etc.), but knowing that I don't want to go
there, I feel practicing avoidance is as good a training tool as any. Kind
of like using abstinance to practice safe sex.
