Primary Flight Training: Keep It Flying, Part 2
In this documentary short film for the U.S. Navy, proper spin and stall techniques for pilot trainees are explored. After Cadet McDribble nearly collides with a squadron of Navy planes because he has practiced spins through clouds, Lt. Taylor shows his student the proper way to deliberately stall the aircraft and to recover from spins.
