Based on research data on general aviation pilots and small engine aircraft, 'Facts About Spins' goes beyond the scientific, providing important insight into the human elements of the spin. This is not an academic textbook for a theoretical discussion of spins - it offers practical advice to help readers understand spins and more importantly, to help pilots recover from them. Revised and updated, the book details the factors that lead to spin accidents and how pilots typically react to the physiological changes associated with an aerodynamic spin.
The author outlines training techniques to help pilots minimize human error when faced with a spinning aeroplane. This book belongs in the library of every pilot regardless of skill or level as their source of factual information on the normal upright spin of modern, light, general aviation, single engine airplanes, as well as the human factors that result in spin accidents or recoveries. Photographs, line drawings & illustrations throughout.
