Its mandatory in the UK for Glider Pilots before they go solo. The test is to enter a full spin at 1,000ft (yes one thousand) from a variety of different scenarios and recover. Trust me at that height you dont see the world go around, just the tree that is in front of you. Its always a B_____ C_____ moment the first time you let a student do it
