I don't know how irresponsible this idea is so I figured I'd confer with the good ole CFI council.
How do you guys feel about doing spins with primary students as a way of getting them away from the fear that "they're going to immediately die" if they get into one? In the FARs it says that you're only allowed to do spin training if it's for the purpose of obtaining a rating. As far as I can tell, the CFI is the only FAA checkride that requires spin training--would that make spin training for a Private student illegal? As well, would this spin training be unethical?
Thanks for the help
