Colyn,
    Spin training,an article in the July issue of  "Flying" "Cook booked" an approach to spin recovery--PARE Perhaps an oversimplefication but an effective one, for no other reason that you DO NOT have time to do much else but realize that you're in one and react..    Close to the ground, IMC/night  not too swift a situation.  That's why I always carry extra speed until on final in ground effect,  the 3 blade CS prop is a big help to add or act as an airbrake also.  Don Skeele  A&P  n320J

>    The inadvertant spin occured on th eWest Coast, On vectors form APC,entered IMC at 2000', received clearance change, my radio reply causeda 'hard up' on my S-Tec 50 A/P.  I just saw blue sky at 5500' and the right wing dropped into an abrupt spin,  attitude gauges went bananas, airspeed low, fighting A/P.  Dumped it, pulled power to idle, stick to neutral, tried right then left rudder,  one direction eased rotation, hung with it, airspeed increased, eased stick back and broke out of a dive and clouds at about 1900'. T-34 spin training years ago was why I survived.  I feel that spin training is mandatory if youplan to fly in IMC or night tim.. We have great A/C but they skills germain to them....Don Skeele   (850)626-4946 Milton FL
