Went flying for the first time today!

Is spin entry/recovery still required to be done for CFI?

Looks like it...
Hey...I got curious...

 

[pilotpete24]

"FAR 91.307 (c) states that each occupant must wear a parachute if a pilot intentionally executes any maneuver that exceeds a bank of 60 degrees relative to the horizon or a nose-up or nose-down attitude of 30 degrees relative to the horizon."

Awww... you mean no more hammerheads in the old Chickenhawk?:icon_wink

 

[MasterBates]

Sure, doing spins, OCF and recoveries is a good thing but with no parachute............things can go wrong at any time during flight but during spins, things can go even more wrong. I want a way out when doing spins or OCF.

I guess it just did not freak me out as bad, since I was used to flying aircraft with no option to leave the party..

 

[Steve Wilkins]

Why not - what's the big deal?

It's not a big deal. However, the point of the first hour of civilian flight instruction is not to teach you steep turns. I imagine the instructor did the steep turns because he could tell the guy was digging the flying thing.

 

[Intruder Driver]

You mean I'm not supposed to drink in flight?

Damn this OPNAV 3710!!!

Not within 100' of an airplane

 

[MasterBates]

Oh good, it was in a helo.

 

[narfmasta]

60* Bank??? Are you sure?
Haha glad you had a good time, but check the bank angles

Pretty sure. Whatever the max on the instrument is for a Cessna 172. Or are you busting me for using an incorrect term???

Probably. He showed me what it felt like to do zero G. That was cool too
<--------- me right now just thinking about it haha this stuff is great!

 

[Gatordev]

Don't think I'd dig that one.

It's a pretty regular occurrence. It's not like what you're used to right now. 500'/rotation for a 150/152 is a bit different than the 9000'/12000'/min we all know and "love."

 

[HighDimension]

I would be interested to see someone attempt to bail out of a C172 during a spin.

So it would be a slow fall to your death I've only entered spins in two aircraft, the T-34C and T-2C, both of which are a little faster than those cessna's I suppose. The T-2C, as I recall, was a bit more violent than the T-34 in the spin arena.

The T-2 was relatively tame in the upright spin. The inverted spin was quite the wild ride.

 

[MasterBates]

They don't spin the T-45 right?

 

[CaptainRon]

When I took my first flying lesson, it was with this old guy.

Before we taxied, he realized at the last second that he had forgotten to untie the plane from the ground.

Then after we landed and we were taxiing back in, our left wing tip collided with another plane and he busted a light.

That was my last flying lesson with that guy.

Having not flown in a 172 I have no idea what the max indicated bank is, but I would assume it would in fact be 60*.

I had thought the regulation stated at 60* or more, you were required to wear a parachute. I was simply wrong. No busting of your terminology.
