spins, c of a, & regs
"birdog" wrote in message ... "Dave Doe" wrote in message ... In article , , birdog says... "Dave Doe" wrote in message ... In article , , crashdummy says... just a curiosity question: is anything wrong, illegal, or dangerous in entering a c150 into a spin at 9,000' and holding full elevator to maintain it down to 2000 before recovering since spins are often prohibited at lower altitudes? Gee that sounds like fun! My spin instructors never liked spinning *that* much. That said, only had two instructors that were into teachign me spin recovery. It was not *manditory* when I did my PPL in NZ - and don't believe it is still. However I think it's near essential to learn - as well as a chitload of fun. I asked to do spin recovery under the hood - which was a heap of fun too. And it was great to be able to suceed in doing it. Others have answered your questions about the plane - is it approved for spinning etc. Only other comment is that it may not be that wise to recover by 2,000'??? - I was always taught to recover by 3,000' AGL. I guess that's really an instructor/club thing - and therefore where you should direct your question. You'll be spining with an instructor anyway right? (dual?). In NZ you'd need to be approved for aerobatics (and that particular manoeuvre) to spin solo. -- Duncan. Gee, how times have changed! In my formative days(late !940's) you didn't solo until you were able to recover from spins in both directions. Before the ppl, we did recovery from unusual attitudes, needle, ball and airspeed navigation, all under the hood. And it was all fun! What were you flying? - the Tigermoth? or Stearman? -- Duncan. Started with J3's and civilian instructors in Gulfport, Miss. while waiting to get into cadets. Due to normal gov't. screwups I never got there. Got the ppl after discharge in 1946. Supplement: As to military trainers, did fly a PT-19 and an AT-6 in after the war. A Stearman was on my wish list, but never realized. |

I asked mine while doing my LAST hour of dual way back when "how do you loop a 150"? So he went on ranting about the regs not permitting loops, the school not permitting loops, cessna not permitting loops and then "but I damm well know you're gonna try anyway so I might as well show you" So needless to say I did tons of long spins and (slow) loops for what seemed like years.

Not likely, haven't flown anything except a mig29 sim for 10 years now :-)))) If I were filthy rich I'd probably move some real sky around in a su-26 or ea-300L though ..only on Sundays. Couldn't handle a real mig or such, my kidneys would fall off the hinges. In NZ you'd need to be approved for aerobatics (and that particular manoeuvre) to spin solo. |

Look up ZK-BCZ And we also had recovery altitude at 3000... Nowadays fully developed stalls recovery with minimum height loss appear to be the norm |
