Default Spinning a Pegase

During JAR22 type certification, the Pegase was only certified in the "utility" category. Similar to the LS gliders, any kind of aerobatics like intentional spinning has not been part of the type certification process.

That does not necessarily mean that it has bad habits while spinning - it was simply not included in type certification. Hence intentional spinning is prohibited per the flight manual.

However, the type certification rules do contain requirements on spin recovery behaviour for the case of unintentional spins. These have to be proven during certification and the flight manual needs to include information on spin recovery.
