172SP...A student of mine asked about high G turns, we were calculated utility category and 75 degree bank is approximately 4 gs. She, a 60 year old women that looked 40, absolutely loved it and screamed like we were on a roller coaster the entire time. I did two 360s banked between 70-75 degrees and half way around the second lap the gyros started their circus act. Only time I have done it in a 172 though, during aerobatic training in a cap 10 I performed multiple high g sustained turns from 3.5-5.5, which is the only reason I felt confident I could perform this.

School where I work uses a G1000 equipped C172 for spin training, and has for quite a while....no problems yet.

Can you operate a 172SP in the utility category? We have a 172N with the 180hp conversion and it's placarded normal category only... I've never flown an SP

Chief CFI said to just use my R model (as this was the POH I had) since they are the same exact airplane with the exception of the engine and 100 lb heavier max gross. I certainly hope i didn't do something outside limits, hopefully I was closer to 74/73 degrees...lol Anyone got an S model book to confirm this?I never had to worry about that extra 100 lbs so I didn't even check, and to top it off our school sells R model books to students for that aircraft. Needless to say I don't work there anymore and went elsewhere, but hey.

No, he's not alone.
Now, imagine doing it to an instrument student, under the hood. He got a nice lesson on partial panel that day.
"except for the purposes of training" Think all these spins fellas are doing are within 60/30?

When did 70 degree steep turns count as spins?
When were spins required for pre private training? Point is it is up to the CFI if it is useful for training. I could argue understanding g-forces on the body is a good lesson for realizing what g-lock is and its likelihood in a pull out from an unusual attitude.
Splash: Why BS a 70 degree turn? It isn't some great feat especially when we have posters here pulling 9 gs on a regular basis. Any CFI on this forum with 30-60 min of training could do it easily.
