SPINS
--WARNING--
Up to 2,000 ft. altitude may be lost in a one turn spin and recovery;
STALLS AT LOW ALTITUDE ARE EXTREMELY CRITICAL.
NOTE:
The best spin avoidance technique is to avoid flight conditions conducive to spin
entry. Low speed flight near stall should be approached with caution and exces-
sive flight control movements in this flight regime should be avoided. Should an
unintentional stall occur, the aircraft should not be allowed to progress into a
deep stall. Fast, but smooth stall recovery will minimize the risk of progressing
into a spin. If an unusual post stall attitude develops and results in a spin, quick
application of antispin procedures should shorten the recovery.
INTENTIONAL SPINS ARE PROHIBITED
In the event of an inadvertent spin, the following recovery procedure should be used:
