CFI candidate Stall and Spin Training- Currently suspended pending a new aircraft
Of all pilot certificates issued in the United States, only an initial CFI certificate requires spin training. Because of this, unless flying aerobatic aircraft or holding a CFI certificate, hundreds of pilots have never performed a spin.
The FAA says a CFI applicant must be competent and possess instructional proficiency in stall awareness, spin entry, spins, and spin recovery procedures. FAR 61.183 (i) (1) requires that a Flight Instructor candidate receive a logbook endorsement certifying proficiency in slow flight, stalls and spins. The training standard states candidates are required to demonstrate a spin but the examiner can accept an endorsement instead, at their discretion. Finally, the completion standard states that the CFI candidate demonstrates and simultaneously explains a spin (one turn) from an instructional standpoint. Therefore, within the industry there is a wide range of programs and standards to achieve the “endorsement”. In our training you will achieve the endorsement, but will also leave armed with a complete understanding of the stalls and spins which will give you the ability to confidently “teach” the subject to your students. You can find an article I wrote about spin training HERE and the ground school slides HERE |
"I took Tom's spin training course while working on my CFI. It proved to be a great learning opportunity and was one of the most fun experiences I had during flight training. When you first meet him, you'll see that he has a genuine love of aviation and thoroughly enjoys sharing his passion with others. He has a lifetime of experience and knowledge that make him an outstanding instructor. When you finish training, you won't just know the answer but actually understand the theory and reasoning behind it. I would highly recommend Tom Rogers for any form of flight training."
