Cessna 150 Fully Developed Spin - Exterior View - Spin Training

Unfortunately my CFI for private and myself were husky guys and we couldn't get the 172 into the utility category so we could do spins. Spin training was removed entirely from the flight schools practical curriculum not long after. Evidently it was deemed too dangerous.

Actually, intentional spins are illegal in a cessna 150 ☝️🤓

Great filming! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my video? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description!

I would have filled my drawers. 😮

Start with a hammer head followed by a spin. The 150 does a good job at it.

My dad was my instructor. He always said let the plane fly. Also the first thing you do when a emergency arises is nothing. Airspeed is a good thing and when trying new things be at least three mistakes high.

Fantastic! It takes me back to my days of instructing. I'd offer to demonstrate to my students, and although not required, I thought it was very valuable. We had 152's, and you had to time that thing just right to get it to go, and if you'd just release the controls, it would mostly recover. Ah, the good ol' days.....

Awesome video!

Looks familiar. 😂😳😂😳😳

Very pretty!

my favorite way to teach spin entry was to keep our feet off the rudders and do a departure stall with full power.. keeping your course with ailerons only... great lesson on the adverse yaw at high angles of attack. you don't need to add rudder to start the spin... the incorrect aileron and rudder usage will put you into a spin to the left... then.. recover normally with feet on the rudders.. etc.. eye opener...

It's funny how that because the wings are stalled there isn't actually a load being put on the wings but daumn this does look rough on the airframe...

I would be scared the wings would snap off

Here in Canada, one of the mandatory exercises you are graded on for the commercial license flight test is your ability to enter and recover from a spin. The best way I’ve been taught to enter a spin in a 172 is to bump the power ever so slightly when the stall horn gets loud, then add back pressure followed by full left rudder just before the stall. Works everytime

My instructor said no more than 8 rotations in the 150. He said they can set up a rhythm or something like that and won’t come out. Did notice it getting tighter as no of spins progressed. Heard the same from many pilots and instructors. My 120 didn’t care how many it came out basically releasing the controls. My instructor had over 30,000 flying hours so I took his word

SPIN SPIN SPINNING 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mi sueño ADRENALINA 🩸🩸🩸🩸

This is AWESOME. MAY I have u'r email and that of you'r CFI icw stall/Spin entering & coming out.
Congratulations.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊0😊😊😊

Been a long time since I flew. IIRC, no ailerons or elevator, just 100% opposite rudder, correct? Once spin stops, pull back elevator.

My CFI taught me how to recover from a spin on my discovery flight 😵‍💫

Thanks for this view. I learned spins in a C152 and always thought it went inverted, but thought no, I must just be disoriented. This shows I actually was right. Second, I only did about 1 turn then recovered. Recently I learned that the spin isn't fully developed yet. I see that clearly here.😊

I’ll never forget my first spin - typical cross control while doing slow flight. Also training in a 150 and had about 6 hours training. Scared me to death lol. My instructor recovered it very quickly and explained why it occurred and once I had a few more hours under my belt, I convinced him to let me get into and out of spins almost every practice and even while doing cross country to break up the monotony. I highly recommend practicing spins because learning how to get into one helps you avoid getting into one in the first place. I also recommend renting a properly equipped 150 and go out and learn to do loops - not for training purposes but because it’s loads of fun and those 150s loop really nicely!

Throttles – Idle

Rudder and Ailerons – Neutral

Stick – Abruptly full aft and hold

Rudder – Abruptly apply full rudder opposite spin direction (opposite turn needle) and hold

Stick – Abruptly full forward one turn after applying rudder

Controls – Neutral after spinning stops and recover from dive

🤣🤣 (Ah... the useless things we remember.)

Nice 👍

Reading some of the comments now I see why pilots are killed by spins every year. Including just recently at Oshkhosh.
I've done dozens of spins in Cessnas they're actually fun and harmless to the aircraft. Once I spun a C150 from 12,000 feet to 4000. Silly I know.
But most pilots don't need to experience a spin. What they really need is to learn how to avoid a spin in the first place.

I would check wing n suports after that thats a lot of torque

I took spin training in a 150 (not required) and the next time I (student) went out on a solo practice flight I got into an unintentional spin. I sure was glad I had the training!

push forward on the yoke, I dont think so. Pull back if you want to live, bring the nose up !

Wow, long recovery time.

I've spun many aircraft (inverted spinning too) but really didn't enjoy spinning the 152 aerobat - its a very nose down attitude and quite uncomfortable.

A fun thing to do.

Notice it's only inverted during entry.

Back in the early 90's, when I was doing my private pilots certificate, I remember being concerned with power on and off stalls and how the wing would often dip slightly. I asked my instructor if he would put me though some spin training, which he agreed. We went out, and performed spins in both directions, and I remember the first spin was breathtaking in how you roll upside down. If you had never been through the training, it would have been terrifying the first, and perhaps the last time it happened. So glad I did that training. Highly recommended for any of you pilots.

Not really fully developed. Wait until the 10th turn and a flat spin begins. Been there, done that

OMFG!

My CFI had a 150 Aerobat and gave me spin training. Thanks Ed. He taught me how to avoid spins..

Did that training in 1980 in a 150 aerobat. With practice could do three rotations and recover in under 800 feet. Everyone should.

You have to force 150 to spin. To recover just do not hold rudder.

Holy crap! I'm not a pilot, but I'm hoping some day I will have the opportunity.

If police were patrolling the skies the way they patrol the roads, few people would know how to recover from a spin, or anything else that is recoverable.

That I looked like it really stressed Airfame

That was 7 rotations, a direct violation of AC 61-65, it also clearly transitioned from flat spin into a spiral (ie nose down attitude) after second spin that required immediate recovery by FAA regulation, since a spiral is very dangerous and exceeds structural loading. Unless that person was training for acrobatics or to increase spin certification, the spin training is limited by the FAA to under AC 61-65 to not allow any student to enter into a fully developed spin at all. Quote" c. Spin avoidance training should consist of stalls and maneuvering during slow flight using
realistic distractions such as those listed in chapter 2. Performance is considered unsatisfactory if it becomes necessary for the instructor to take control of the aircraft to avoid a fully developed spin "

Even if this was a non training flight, the pilot is not supposed to enter a fully developed spin. UNLESS they have endorsement on their ticket. The title description clearly states it was spin training. ALso again even if they do have training for CFI to get higher spin certification or aerobatic certs, this was not a spin. it transitioned into a spiral by second turn and that is totally a regulation violation to keep it going, no matter what your endorsements are . Reckless flying

Yeah, nah.

I learned in a Citabria, could spin it and Cessnas to the left and the right. Being proficient in spin recovery was a confidence builder to really explore an airplane’s performance envelope.

Your next video should be of a spin "Over the Top".

I just did my spin training last week. What a blast! Great learning experience.

Seems like a good way to quickly lose some altitude

I soloed in one of these, flew them for years and still this video scared me to death! I never imagined that this tame little aircraft could plummet like that! 😱
In the cockpit, you have no notion...

My butt was puckering just watching it!

What happens when the student fails the lesson? 🤔

I enjoyed my spin training. They're fun.
