Correct me pls, but I thought the main reason for removing spinning from the sylabus was a number of fatal accidents during spin training.
Yes the number of fatal accidents is the reason, but not during training, but after the checkride. Too many Pvt Pilots were demonstrating spins to their friends, and getting killed, so says two of the Safety Program Managers at FSDO 15 that I am in the FAA Safety Program with. However, it is also true that the largest number of accidents, and unfortunately, the highest number of fatalities is with a CFI on board. There was a sick joke going around the schools that if you wanted to have an accident, take a CFI along. So you are MUCH better off taking an orientation ride in a fellow KR pilot, than taking a CFI along in your plane! Colin Rainey brokerpi...@bellsouth.net
