I thought this might start some conversation, which is why I choose here instead of Supercubdotorg:
A Cub student is going to Texas to a CFI school. They told him to get spin training first. So, sure, but if you want multiple turns and really wound up, not me. That was ok.
Without looking at the regs, I figured a simple entry saying we had done entries and recoveries both ways would do it. That was the requirement in the olden days.
So we did it. Then , looking at the required endorsement, it turns out that they no longer want that. They want a certification that the student is competent to instruct in alow flight, stalls, incipient stalls stall recognition, and all those same words for the spins. We are talking two hours of that, not a spin entry and recovery in both directions.
But you recent instructors already knew that, I bet. How many standard size logbooks will it take to properly recommend a CFI candidate? I have no idea.
