The best way to learn spin control is to fly a glider (sail plane). Glider is slow and spin can be controlled with precision. Many shuttle pilots in Houston get glider license too.

welcome to a fully developed spin in a cessna….stall horn going off the whole time=spin…thats what it looks like passed 3 rotations…i think ur comparing it to a sprial, plane wouldn’t be stalled in a spiral dive.

The Cessna 152 has …
The Cessna 152 has a 3.8 positive, 1.52 negative rating in the normal category. The Cessna 150 and 152 are approved for spins. Seek instruction and get it done, it could save your life. Unless you allow excessive airspeed to build after stopping the rotation you’ll be fine. Don’t jerk on the controls, ease on them. Especially when above VA.

Of course it’s good to practise. If you have it you won’t need it and if you need it you won’t have it. The accident you prepare for is the accident you’re less likely to have…and die from.
Spins, however, are prohibited in the POH of all Grumman American aircraft.
I believe that …
I believe that practicing spins are good just incase you ever do encounter one and if you have practiced them you can get out of it quicker with a lesser loss of altitude. However you would most likely encounter a stall and a spin when you are about to land and if you spin it when you are that low you are not going to survive.
A plane does not …
A plane does not have to be aerobatic to be authorized for spins, it is clear in most 150’s POHs that spins are not prohibited, and they are practiced for CFI checkride.
there are reasons …
there are reasons why i don’t do spins in a 152. it is not a good plat form to learn. need something a little more heavy and more predictable. XD

The 152 (not 150) that I train in has a positive g rating of 3…. note to self don’t get to it 🙂

It’s helpful to have good landmarks when you are trying to count the revs! Great video!
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

My flight instructor Mark.. complained that I baulked too much at my impending stalls and said. you have to overcome your reluctance to stall the plane.. the worse thing which could happen was a spin. Well he put us in a spin
and when we got out his was visibly shaken.
Apparently EAA Chapter 73 lost two memebers while practicing spins in a cessna 150.
And there is no recomended spin recovery in a mooney.

yea but the more you know the better
Well, here in Canada, spin training is mandatory for a Private Pilot License holders.
I did mine in a 172. Don’t really see what the issue is.
If you are not comfortable in learning spin training (including real entry and recovery), I don’t know that you should have your ticket.
Just my 2 cents.
