Title:
Boeing Field Users Network Meetup
Topic:
Dancing with Gravity: Essential Spin Training Skills
Date and Time:
Saturday, May 9, 2026, starting at 12:00 Pacific Daylight Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
Cecilia Aragon
Brief Description:

This presentation explores the critical elements of aircraft spin training, combining aerodynamic theory with practical recovery techniques. We'll examine the physics behind spin development, including the roles of yaw, angle of attack, and asymmetric lift distribution. Participants will learn to identify the four stages of a spin and understand the differences between incipient, accelerated, and flat spins. Through analysis of case studies, we'll demonstrate proven recovery methods and common pitfalls to avoid. Special emphasis will be placed on recognition and prevention strategies, ensuring pilots develop both the knowledge and confidence to handle these challenging flight regimes safely.
