OK. For the wing drop I take the recovery action for
that. Spinning is more than stalling with the wing
down or indeed with wing drop. A spin involves the
aircraft autorotating with yaw, roll and pitch movement.
I suppose you could say that if there significant yaw
present then that needs to be stopped. I think the
important point is that the angle of attack needs to
be reduced. If that can be achieved by use of the elevator
then that is all that is required.
I am not sure that I can explain satisfactorily in
words, but I could definitely demonstrate the difference.

OK, so how would you described the difference. How
far does the wing
have to drop before /you/ use spin recovery rather
than stall
recovery? I'm genuinely interested: it's not supposed
to be a trick
question in any way.
