... anyway, both of them kill you if you stall in the traffic patern (what a concept:rolleyes:.)
I've also done spins and enjoy them immensley because I knew they were coming. Once I snapped into inverted flight though, and IP had to take over. That wasn't any fun but was a great learning experience that led us into approach turn stalls. Approach turn stalls are the most dangerous and are very easy to get into when on theback side of the power curve and if you forget the power = altitude, nose = speed rule. Low, slow, high bank and AOA, trying to stretch the glide instead of adding power, low wing will snap roll inverted if in left hand bank.
Usually too low to recover. I've practiced them at 10,000. If in righthand bank, harder to do, due to opposite torque, won't go inverted but you'll easily hit 90 degrees of bank.
Stall recovery is what I spent most time on and very glad I did. It made slo-flight a breeze and landings are greasers. It's not really uncontrolled flight because you put it into the spin (they are right, you really have to work at it to get most trainers to spin) and you learn how to recognize the spin and what to do take it out. Spin practice will prepare you for the unintentional stall or spin situation but it really gives you a better command of the air craft in all flight regimes.
Best of luck to ya' XNachoX.
And, if you think you've got a death grip now, JUST WAIT TILL YOU SOLO. It's a true blast, and you concentrate so hard that when it's over, you'll swear your fingerprints are embedded in the yoke. One word of advice. Fly paranoid all the time. It will become a safe habit and will serve you for many years.
