John,
interesting thoughts. Even with strong visual cues, the more nose down
a spin, the more difficult it might be to surmise its direction. Thus,
a quick reference to the yaw string is in order. Isn't the Pooch known
for its nose down attitude while spinning?
Yet another reason to put the emphasis on stall avoidance and prompt
recovery from prestall conditions. A suprise stall and autorotation at
low altitude presents a great a risk, even for well trained, heads-up
pilots.
