  • Easy - power off, full opposite rudder, stick forward a bit to break the stall. Good fun.

  • Am I the only one who found this fun?

  • @A1FORC3 nar, i thought it was fun aswell =)

  • I see good training. Nothing crazy there.

  • a quesiton im noob, are the plane (cessna) hard enough to support all this spinning, the 0 gravity? can break a wing or fracture , can this happen ?

  • Listen to that crazy airspeed as he pulls out. I hate it when there's that big "CLAP" sound from right overhead... on a 200- kt. pullout.

  • @Crashman2

    Thats not a 200 KCAS recovery, max 140.

  • hmmm was power in a little early, yea?

  • Seems like the speed reached yellow arc. Am I correct?

  • @yohan01 Probably not. You have to understand that your airspeed in a spin is very low. The aircraft is actually stalled. Recovery involves getting out of the stall and once the stall is recovered airspeed gains rapidly. He was probably at around 40-50 kts during the spin and upon recovery reached 110 or so. And even if he was in the yellow arc... whats the big deal? Thats fun ; )

  • @lovemyrinker Yeah I understand that : ) and yes it's fun to practice Stall & Spin. But it won't be fun if someone cannot recover from a spin.

    I'm sure that you already know the limitation for yellow arc and even red arc, of course it's not a big deal.

  • Be carefull one or two spins more. ........... and the plane come into a continous spin .......... you only willcome out with very special tricks and help by God.

  • @ThePilot314

    And that special trick is: stick (yoke) forward, apply full opposite rudder! ;-)

  • spins are fun aren't they!

  • I begin classes In January at Eastern Michigan..

  • and what kind of plane is this??

  • im an aviation student at university of illinois and our second semester of our freshman year in AVI 120, we do spin training.

  • 0:20 = Weeeeeeeeee!!!

  • clear skies are the best skies.

  • Not crazy, nor overloading ac. They are required for your CFI in the PTS.

  • good thing you didnt rip the wings off in that poor recovery.

  • Nothing crazy about this...........I have an aerobatic endorsement and do this all the time..as do 1000s of other pilots all around the world everyday

  • I did my UK PPL in 1976 and spin training was compulsory. It was brilliant. I had a crazy ex Greek Air force pilot as an instructor. He didn't consider a spin exercise complete until the seventh rotation. He also had a habit of suddenly saying "this is how we do a strafing run in the Greek air force". It's a good job the Cessna 150 wasn't armed because Southport gas holder would have never survived.

  • hahaha awesome

  • Wow. Typical is three rotations. Seven must have been intense. More power to you my friend.

  • lmao

  • @formbyquiz lmao

  • This planes stall horn sounds better than a cessna's lol

  • AGREED! Lol

  • I'm currently doing my licence and in the UK at least you only need to know the theory side of spin recovery aswell as the SSR (Standard Stall Recovery) but your flight instructor will usually ask if you would like to do a practical spin recovery however it is not required but ofcourse recomnded its best to do it under controlled circumstances for the first time rather than in a real emergency I did my spin training and did several spins to ensure I was compentant. Hope that helps :)

  • Only CFI candidates need spin training now (US).

    Thanks for posting- nice aggressive spin! Looking forward to doing them but I'm sure I'll be a little nervous the 1st few times.

  • Pretty sure its for Commercial not necessarily CFI

  • In the US its only required for CFI ticket. It would be nice to be able to spin all students but most FBOs today want to use their aircraft for instrument training and don't want you beating up their gyros with spin training. :(

    -Robert, CFII

  • I was expecting the wings to fold up on that one.

  • nah. the plane stays at 1G the whole time.

  • @joeymuffarco69 Which is why the camera drops from 0:18 to 0:24, right? I'm pretty sure that's more than one G they're pulling.

  • @CaptainAndrew1991 ok, i dont have the time to argue with ignorant ppl. please do urself a favor and do some research on spins. or perhaps even pay a CFI to take u up and perform a spin. u will see it is a ONE G manuever. and that camera drop ur talkingn about is after the spin has stopped. they were pulling the nose back up, so yes that was more than 1 g. but the spin stall itself is 1 g at all times.

  • @joeymuffarco69 And I agree. But I was focusing on 0:18 to 0:24 (See: Your fourth paragraph).

  • WT AIRCRAFT

  • Looks like a firefly

  • it's true that spinning like that is not as horribble in real as it seems in videos. before I practiced it in the training I saw some videos here and I was truly affraid from it. so it suprised me when I couldn't feel anything bad.

  • My dad tried to do that and he didnt put it right so the other guy in the cockpit hadtoo

    =]

  • I just got my spin training endorsement today (working on my CFI)

    ...scary at first. But fun nonetheless. =)

  • I love spins!!!

  • No thanks.

  • The scarey thing for me is that one time an instructor pulled out hard from the last spin because we were like 1000 feet and something popped in the airplane... I thought it was a spar, but it turned out to be the door popped partially open on his side. It scared me and I know him too, yet he did not admit it. Careful with the recovery!

  • Yeah thats a lot of load on a little airplane.The guy in this vid really kinda pushed the safety margin.

  • @FoulOwl you dont understand the manuever. There is no load on the plane. i dont have the room to explain it to you but go research spins and you'll get a better idea of it.

  • @FoulOwl hahaha! How can you put a lot of load on a stalled plane? And, how do you "really kinda" do... anything?

  • @FoulOwl Looks normal to me..

  • cant fuking wate!

  • Just one too many spins for my liking. haha 1 or 2 is just fine for me.

  • wht is crazy about it???

  • i agree there is nothing crazy about that...in fact spinning is a part of most pilots training

    8)

  • Actually it's not, it's only part of the CFI syllabus. You can only do it by request otherwise.

  • For where I learned to fly, spins were part of the training, but not required for the flight test.

  • I don't think you need to do spins in your flight test until you go for your commercial rating, i may be wrong, but i know you don't do them when you go for your private.

  • well as a Canadian i can happily say i received my spin training during my private. If your scared of spins get a new profession.

  • I really want to do spins, and will soon.

    They look really fun

  • I did all my CFI spin training inverted. I was doing a lot of acro at the time.

  • @XEvilCarrotX Dude you try performing a spin like that, I've done aerobatics, it feels like shit!

    +That plane probably isn't designed to make dives like that which could result in it passing its never exceed speed!

  • @XEvilCarrotX Just did it today for the first time! It's not scary all. Really fun!

  • @XEvilCarrotX The FAA found that almost all accidents caused by spins were from Pilots practicing spins.

  • @jizzmonger probably too low or in airplanes not approved for spins. Get plenty of altitude, spin a plane that is FAA certified and approved for spins, follow the procedures in the POH and you can safely spin all day long.

    they're fun

  • @Hurricane4x4Parts Right but the main point is that spins during normal flying would most likely occur close to ground where recover is not possible.

    At altitude you would most likely be flying at a speed at which it is nearly impossible to spin the airplane, so what is the point of purposely spinning the airplane and learning to recover? All you are doing is needlessly putting yourself and the airplane at risk.

  • Comment removed

  • I've done my TIF (Trial Instructional Flight) and am starting PPL training in 3 weeks, but I'm wondering what the sensation of an actual spin feels like. It is particularly scary maneuver on your stomach or is it just confusing?

    Thanks.

  • Really, they are way over rated. It is a little confusing the first couple times, but after you do a few, you will wonder what all the fuss is about!

  • They aren't that bad at all... the videos make them look freaky but really they aren't that bad. it sure pays to know how to recover though!

  • What is that beeping sound? What device is it ?

  • stall

  • I know what a stall is, but what device makes it and how does it work? As soon as the ASI hits the stall speed it goes Beep ?

  • The stall indicator on a beechcraft baron for example is a small tab on the leading edge of the wing. It sticks out and it moves up when you stall because of the air not moving over the wings. The air moving upward instead of over the wings causes the tab to be pushed up and the stall horn sounds.

    Peace

  • Truth. The tab on the wing is just a simple air pressure activated switch, which closes and activates the horn when the wing is approaching the stall so that the pilotknows the wing is going to stall. Anton please be aware that stalling DOES NOT have a specific speed. A plane can stall at any speed, even above its cruise speed if conditions dictate it. Stalling is SOLELY dependant on the critical angle, the angle of attack of the wing to the relative airflow. Talk to your instructor about it...

  • Why is the title crazy pilot doing spins.. we all do spins for PPL and or CPL... in canada anyways.. its an option..

  • In Australia we do it by the 6th lesson.

  • Interesting did not know it was an option in canada to do spins. I wonder how they recover from stalls in real life if they opted not to do it during training. Oh well guess we'll never know...

  • Hi, Pilotkid.. actually its an option to do the practical.. in PPL.. but a must in commercial.. in either case, you must explain the recovery during your flight exam.

  • makes me sick just watchin the vid lol

  • i love spins like most pilots do :D

  • did my first spin in the valantine day , can u beleive this , my girl friend was with me in the plane , it was an adventure , and the Milatiry Police was following me ....... nice memories i enjoy it u feel u r abird!!

  • Spins are GREAT !! Did my spins in a Diamond Katana. Nothing like seeing the world upside down from the big bubble canopy. I was pretty nervous before we went in but then through out my flight training I asked to do them everytime. Nothing better to get over any fear of flying.

  • dam it i like doin it i was enjoyining doing a spin every time and it is safe as long as u know ur stuff and how 2 recover it is not crazy at all ....nice spining

  • I love spins guys.I only got 1 but i hope to have more in the future!!!!

  • Hmm, if only crazy pilots do spins, then all flight instructors must be crazy become we have all done them. ;)

  • what kind of pilot are you if you hate spins? wouldnt you be beter suited driving from a to b rather than flying?

  • a gay pilot !

  • i hate spins and ive been a pilot for 17 yrs

  • There's old pilots and bold pilots, but no old bold pilots. What did you ever have a fly in? A jar? Not learning how to spin is madness. Besides, it's just so much fun.

  • LOL! I wouldn't do them to be bold, I would do them to become an old pilot. Practicing stalls and such, it can be easy to accidentally go into a spin. It's good to know the recovery and proficiently get out of a spin. I never felt comfortable practicing stalls until I was comfortable with getting out of spins first. It has paid off, I've gone into accidental spins a couple times during solo practice of turning stalls.

  • did my first spins a couple days ago, so much fun, I did 4 of them!

  • Hey, spins are fun. Nothing crazy about this one :).

  • i would be shitting my intestines out

  • Nice Spinning!

    Seems like my training on the 260
