@James7206 Here in Canada Spins are required for PPL.

He mentioned that the engine was turned off. No it was brought to an idle. Not turned off.

@TheFlightLog None, the wings are mostly stalled, therefore there is no wing loading. Therefore no chance of them breaking

[James7206]

They don't require spins for private pilot certificate only awareness of what causes them.

[TheFlightLog]

whats the chances of the wings breaking off when doing this maneuver ?

Spins are tons of fun... When done safely of course (just in case transport Canada sees this post I will add the safety bit). An accelerated flat spin would be interesting.

@BlazingPuppies You should see a Katana spin. Those really get wound up tight.

Spin is not necessary
