5 |
Exercise 11 - Incipient And Full Spins | All students need to be able to recognize the onset of a spin, called an incipient spin, and be able to recover back to normal flight. Full spins are not always taught in primary training, but it is important that pilots understand the theory behind them and how to recover from them. Exercise 11 | 9/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
