I demonstrate spins in a Cessna 150 — first produced in 1959 and the direct descendant of the 1946 140.

They used to be called tailspins in the long ago. Recovery from spins were part of flight training.

Spin practice is still the norm in Canada. The spin was removed from the PPL flight test in 1999 but they still teach recognition, avoidance and recovery.
