What I believe you are refereeing to is recovery from a controlled tight spiral, not an uncontrolled spin. Controlled in this instance refers to no loss of control surface function. Uncontrolled spin is “Where’s the ejection handle time...”.

Unless that is, you are a military test pilot, I suspect the former rather than the latter.

No. Uncontrolled spin and recovery. You set up slow flight MCA, pull back on the yoke, ignore the stall warning, and fall out of the sky.

To recover, yoke to neutral, throttle out, kick the rudder hard, when the world stops going around, neutral rudder and pull up.

Standard flight school training.
