The recommendation in
the BGA Instructors Manual, page 19-3, to initiate a 'brief' spin at 800
feet during pilot training will be removed by appropriate amendment action
in due course. You are urged to bring this note the attention of your

club
pilot and instructor colleagues. Where required, CFI's can seek advice
from Simon Adlard, the BGA National Coach on 07773 017270."

I suppose this training exercise comes in the category of balancing the

risk
of doing the exercise against the risk to pupils' subsequent career if the
exercise is not done. Rather like the light twin engine out on take-off,
or spinning for power pilots in some countries.


Wise decision.
