When I started my flight training 40 years ago (J3 Cub) Loops, spins and hammerheads were the norm, along with wheel take offs and landings. My instructor had me land at every dirt road and farmers field she could find, I used to beg her to just let me fly the plane, it became normal to land uphill in some farmers field or some remote dirt road, in my 8th hour she had me take off and land then had me go to the fuel pumps, I was confused. then she said you're ready to solo. Years later I had to do an off field landing, which I did without any damage or injury, the FAA wasn't too happy about it, but if it weren't for the training my first instructor gave me I might not be writing this, Don't panic, remember to keep flying the airplane, follow procedure and you'll be fine. I'll never forget what the FAA said to me, I was naive about this but, she said "it very rare to talk to somebody like you" I said why is that? Because they're dead. I am not bragging to anyone here, my point is, don't panic, remember what you have been taught and you'll have a better chance at survival. This instructor has good qualities that will make good safe pilots and have fun in the process. In closing, I am so grateful to my instructor. She taught me safety without me even knowing it.

that cfi made me feel as if I could rectify a spin, and I've got no flight experience. sounds like an awesome instructor.

I think it's harder to get a 172 into a spin than it is to get it out of one.

172s are one of the most stable aircraft. That's why they are the most popular training aircraft. For stalls, spins, and spirals the plane will mostly correct itself if you let go of everything

Glenn is definitely an example of an incredibly good flight instructor. Inter-communication between instructor and student (with me being a student) is one of the most integral parts of properly learning to fly. He sounds like an instructor I would pay double to have.

Thank you for posting this video! When I was getting my license they did not include spin recovery. Fortunately, I had watched a video tape on how to do this, which probably saved my life. I was soloing and unintentionally entered a spin. Because I watched the tape, I knew how to recover. I strongly encourage any student pilot to get trained on how to do this! Your in-depth, multiple recovery instructions, along with the text in your explanation, could give someone enough details to save a life! Great instructor and a great example of your student’s ability to apply your procedures! Thank you both!

you seemed scared but with courage to go through and make yourself learn it. that has been my emotions going into my stall training and I'm glad I'm not alone!

I think you call that "apprehensive" . I recently had the opportunity to do spins again but in a C152. The sensations were much more intense and I was startled by this to the point that I severely delayed the recovery and almost overspeed the plane. All I can say is that you need a lot of practice doing the recovery, not only to understand how the airplane behaves but how you behave as well. It is truly sensory overload and your brain simply pauses to process all the different inputs and sensations and that is the part that will kill you. You need to be accustomed to this and apply the recovery inputs early and promptly.

@michaelwebber4033

I've been doing spinning in the C152 recently and we let to go past 2 turns. It tightens substantially and starts to spin much faster. The recovery takes almost a full turn from the time it's effected. I'm doing it for my instructors rating. I was nervous at first, but once the first spin was done I discovered I love it and I went on to do many more.

Glenn is an excellent instructor. Why? Because he is immersed with his student and also very encouraging. We need more instructors like him. I've been flying since 17 and now 58 and would never do a spin. But with Glenn, I would.

From the 172R POH - Section 4-40 "Intentional spins are approved when the airplane is operated in the utility category. Spins with baggage loadings or occupied rear seat(s) are not approved." The spins conducted in this video were done while operating the aircraft in the utility category in compliance with the POH for the specific aircraft flown.

In my country it WAS mandatory to train to do 2 spins at least before recovery ... until a student and instructor ended up going nose-first into the ground. Sadly we'll never know exactly why or how. Some speculated the student applied too much forward pressure and flipped the bird over into a roof-first fall.... as said we'll never truly know. But it is now banned and only incipient spin recovery is taught. A CFI told me some stories at that point about how some students would panic and grab the sticks, kick their legs out and hold the rudder in position, etc.... said a few students had been punched by CFI's over the years to get them to let go. IMHO only: people who react that way don't belong in cockpits. No fault of theirs, but they prob don't have the constitution for it.

My dream instructor!

Seems like a great instructor. Very calm, authoritative, good demeanor and offered good feedback hand helpful tips.

Did my spin training last week on the 20th of March 2015. My instructor demonstrated to me the first one and i had to recover twice on the subsequent ones. My instructor again let us do spins this past monday and i recovered twice. i must confess that the first one is scary but u get used to the subsequent ones. And this video helped me a lot prior to my spin training because i was really scared of it.

Congratulations to the instructor. There is a world of difference between having the technical skills and knowledge to be a flight instructor and having the teaching vocation. Nice job guys.

Great video and great instruction. The first spin feels kind off like your first solo, you remember it vividly and don't forget it. Everyone should experience it at least once.

Excellent instruction! The instructor does the maneuvers and explains what he is doing as he does it.

Great instructor.

your instructor is awesome! great video!

Very well done, Stephan! It's a horrible sensation the first time, but I did the same as you - asked my instructor to do a second one so I was the better able to appreciate what was happening. Speed builds up alarmingly once the rotation stops and before you commence the climb out of the dive, doesn't it? Superb instructor. Very good explanations and he just exudes confidence. Stick with him - he's exceptional! Cheers for now! Peter

WOW ! Great job bud ! If I ever learn how to fly, I'll be looking for this Instructor ! Excellent!

Correction Great Instruction Glenn Barrett!! Awesome Video. Glenn You are so Patient and are Obviously a Fantastic CFI! You were very Thorough in Your explanations and this was a great review for Old Pilots like me!

This is a skill I've wanted to learn for a long time: the ability to accurately judge relative distances in the face of perspective distortion as a result of using a wide angle camera (170°) containing only a 2D image. Well done.

Excellent tuition, seems like a very pleasant CFI, his instructions are plain and simple.

I wish I could go back through training all over again.. What a blast .. The excitement of the unknown was exhilarating .

Stephan Awesome Video and Awesome Instruction! Excellent Job at explaining what was going on! Thank You so Much!!!

I'm glad I found this video. I need to view it a few times. A long time ago, 1982 +/-, early in fight training and very few hours, we were practicing power on stalls in a 172. My instructor had me repeating them one right after another without any rest. Each time I did one, I could feel the tension building up in my body, a little higher up in my chest each time. Then on the last one, the plane snapped over and I was looking at a whole lot of ground spinning around in the windshield. I don't know if I was the one to step on the rudder or if it was the instructor, but we came out of it fairly quickly. I remember shrieking in a high voice saying "Was that a spin?". The instructor just said "No, that was a spiral dive. Let's do some more". My tension had not reduced by any means, I had had it and said that I was done for the day. He said "really?". Ever since then, I seem to have developed a keen since of impending stall, sooner than anyone else I'm with. Each time during a review when the instructor asks for a stall, I feel the stall coming on and return to normal flight. Every instructor always says "No, I want a complete stall". I always say "That was one". I always tell them "The point is stall avoidance isn't it? We just avoided a stall". Then we do another one and I take it to a clean break. I really keep an eye on the horizon and the ball centered after the "spiral dive" experience! My last biennial was the first time I've shared the 1982 experience with anyone. When I got to the "spiral dive" comment, this instructor just stared at me and simple said "Oh".

Great video! Can't wait to get back in an airplane and do this! Always wanted to, and think that every pilot should know how to do this.

I’m having this training tomorrow. Pretty excited. Thanks for this.

Man thank you for uploading this!

Very well done. The instructor is very professional in this lesson. This is a great training video.

a good instructor is a very valuable tool

Great video!! Best spin video I have found yet! You had the same reaction I did my first spin. "holy crap!" haha. Then I had to do one on my own, my instructor sat on his hands and took his feet off the pedals and was like "recover"...then I realized it wasn't that bad, turned out to be a lot of fun!

Wow, what a great and calm instructor! Nice vid!

Excellent instructor. Not all good pilots make good instructors. It's a special skill. BTW, you didn't do too badly at all on your first spin recovery. That was my favorite part of primary training.

I just experienced this for the first time on my 3rd flight lesson. Scared the crap out of me initially but would like to do it again. Very informative video. However one have to experience it yourself to really understand the feeling.

Very good instructional video. Thank you

The CFI is awesome. Great explanations.

I remember my first spin in a 152. I knew something was up when my instructor took left seat. First one was stomach wrenching, but then we started getting it more and more to my control. Most fun since my first hood flight instruction.

This is an excellent video. Thanks Glenn Barrett for the well done lesson and Stephen for sharing it. See the speedometer during the spin... almost got to zero IAS!

this training is a must! well done!

Guys, great video! My flying school won't do spin training in their 172s and I'm super keen to learn more about it. I know the drill but seeing it in action in a familiar aircraft is fantastic. Cheers from Brisbane Australia!

I was practicing this today in a 172. It was the most beautiful morning for flying I have experienced in a long time.

I had this happen over the weekend. Practicing power off stalls and it went right into a spin. I freaked. Well done on your 2nd try. That's impressive.

I've watched this video four times, or more, and I enjoy it just the same every time. :)

Nice video Steph !!! Good training video.

Great video. Awesome instructor.

You're outta yer mind...sounds like an armchair pilot to me. Cloud avoidance looked just fine, and I think this is one of the better instructional videos I've seen on this aspect of flight instruction.

I didn't have any issues with spins, but practising steep turns was another story. After doing them repeatedly, it made me feel very nauseated. I made it through the lesson without becoming sick, but that couldn't be said of the car ride home. I now keep some ginger-based Gravol in my car. Works wonders.

just great! i do really like his explanations

This guy seems like a guy I would like to learn from! Great instructorM!

This looks so cool! Can’t wait until I get to do this in my training

Great video - I fly out of CZBA myself. I ended up hating stalls more than spins as you just didn't know WHEN it was going to stall. I don't how those instructors do it - they're so calm. A good reminder to get off the opposite rudder once the spin stops.

Excellent video, very helpful!

Right on, thanks for the clarification, I got my commercial helicopter license a few weeks ago and instrument rated, once I get done with CFI/CFII I am planning on getting my private fixed wing add on, spins look really fun to do!

Nice video! Very helpful to me as a student pilot learning about real spin recovery.

This is really great video!

i LOVE THIS VIDEO! God i cant wait to graduate next year from high school and start training!

This is the instructor that all new pilots need, learn to get OUT of a bad situation

well now this looks fun, looking forward to doing this as a go on with flying!

Such great training and fantastic recoveries. The C152 I train in doesn't like going into a full spin, but if you make it, it sure will put on a good show.

Just did spin training today. Not required in the US, but that was some of the most fun I've had in the plane to date. Actually it WAS the most fun.

I learned to fly in gliders at Lake Elsinore in CA. We were required to demonstrate left and right 3 turn spins in a Schwitzer 2-33 before we could solo, and I soloed in eight hours. Really messed up the SEL instructor because he couldn't freak me with spins and simulated engine failures. This is a very good instructor. No drama.

Love doing these recoveries. Get's one ready for the real world of flight. Spins happen when you least expect it. So learn them at the hit and be the better pilot.

Great video! Makes me want to do some upset recovery training myself!

Great video, looks great fun!

I am a student pilot and I can tell you this is awesome ! 👏

What a great instructor!

Great video thanks for sharing !!!

Oh man I miss doing spin training when I was in flight school, sooo much fun!

That's mostly true about the power, the point I was trying to make was that a 172 really doesn't want to spin and won't unless you hold in Pro spin inputs. I've done 3-4 in the skyhawk, not much but I played around a bit. Most of my spin training is in a Decathlon, Citabria and 152 Aerobat. Cool video!

Great instructor
