    Spins are fun. When I was waiting for my FAA check ride, my instructor and I were out one day just reviewing everything and when we were done, he asked, "anything else you want to do?"
    "Spins"
    "You want to do spins?"
    "Suuuuurreee".
    We were in a 1970's model C172 -- and he had kind of a hard time getting it to spin through normal mistakes.
    At one point he was doing it power on, completely uncoordinated with a final rudder kick on the stall horn. I was already laughing because of this... and then the plane flipped over, we're staring straight down at the fall colors (northern Illinois) and I point out the windshield and say, "oooo. pretty colors" and we both just crack up as he recovers. (well, 172's practically do it on their own)
    That was a fun day.

      I used to be deathly afraid of rollercoasters dude, like literally deathly scared of little family coasters at Disney World lol. eventually I started riding more and more working my way up to larger coasters and now I am a huge fan of rollercoasters and I'm so glad I did that before starting my flight training. My advice is just go and ride rollercoasters until you're desensitized to them- but work you're way up from smaller ones to big ones. Mentally you'll get over that fear and physically you'll be WAY more accustomed to the feeling of free-falling, spinning & G-loading!

    This is just to alert everybody, but I hope this airplane has the large rudder stop bolts required by AD 2009-10-09 installed. That AD prohibits spinning 150s and 152s unless those special bolts are installed. They are literally Piper Cherokee aileron stop bolts. If the bolts are not installed, a placard prohibiting spins must be on the panel. I've seen quite a few with no placard, no big bolts, and guys spinning them all the time.

  • @rileyconroy6899
    @rileyconroy6899 2 роки тому

    Just to address the comment made at around 1:50 about just slightly using right rudder. I don't know the POH that well for a 152 and have only done spins a few times in one but advocating for only slight use of the opposite rudder is not correct general advice.
    AFH chapter 4 says that, "its application should be brisk and full opposite to the direction of rotation".
    Again, if the POH says otherwise than abide by what is in the POH but thought I would leave this here for you two and also anyone who is watching.

    @JFirn86Q 2 роки тому +1

    Anyone watching this, these types of planes (Cessna 152 or 172 or other trainers), are NOT approved/rated for intentional spins like this. According to AC 61-67C: Chapter 4, these aircraft are only tested and rated to be recoverable from a 1 turn spin or 3 seconds. Meaning, doing a multiple turn long spin like this - you are now a test pilot. Anything could happen, overstressing of the structure, unable to recover, etc.
    While I agree, if you have the plane loaded in the Utility Category and are gentle with recovery technique, it is generally okay... but you are still acting as a test pilot and in sketchy territory. Everything is all fine and dandy until something goes wrong.
    A lot of CFI's think that spin recovery training is important, and I wholeheartedly agree, but it should be done in a proper acrobatic plane with an instructor with spin certification or something of the sort. Many places out there offer this. Then, back with your CFI in your trainer aircraft, practice spin avoidance with stalls only.
    Stay safe out there.

    • @erinthepilot
      @erinthepilot  2 роки тому

      Yes, this 152 IS approved for spins in the utility category, which we were operating in-completely safe and legal. The 152 is certified for spins in the utility category per the POH. Not everyone has access to an aerobatic plane. Nothing about this is sketchy. This is fear mongering.
