"While spin training is required to earn a flight instructor
rating, the quality and depth of that training can vary widely.
Safety, however, demands that flight instructors be thoroughly
competent and current in these procedures, because an instructor's
ability to impart this knowledge and skill creates better pilots
who can handle such situations. NAFI is happy to assist with this
effort to gauge training levels and enhance aviation safety and
proficiency."

a major safety study regarding flight instructor experience and
opinions on aircraft spin training.
