A pilot can induce a flat spin once the spin is established by applying full opposite aileron to the direction of rotation—hence, the requirement to neutralize ailerons in the normal spin recovery technique. The aileron application creates a differential induced drag that raises the nose toward a level pitch attitude.
Kershner held the record for consecutive turns in a flat spin in an aircraft, with 25 turns; Cavagnaro broke it by performing 60 consecutive turns in her Cessna, [10] and filmed the results to document the fact that the spin recovery technique does not change after larger numbers of turns. [4]
spins, and; hammerheads. Most aerobatic figures are composites of these basic maneuvers with rolls superimposed. A loop is when the pilot pulls the plane up into the vertical, continues around until they are heading back in the same direction, like making a 360 degree turn, except it is in the vertical plane instead of the horizontal.
He found that by releasing back-pressure on the stick and aggressively applying opposite rudder to the direction of the spin he could change the spin into a normal dive and recover, something previously thought impossible in an N-9. His stall and spin recovery techniques remain in use to this day by aviators around the world. [5]

The pilot who died in a small plane crash Sept. 23 was performing an inverted flat spin before his plane crashed into the Cumberland River in Cheatham County, according to the National Safety and ...
Recovery: Spin normally for 1-3 minutes before descending back down the pyramid. Complete the entire pyramid set (up and down) 2-3 times with 5-10 minutes of easy pedaling between sets. Cooldown ...
The British pilot F. P. Raynham had already made a successful recovery from a spin, but the event was unobserved. [9] In spite of the discovery of "Parke's technique," also known as the "Parke Dive", [10] pilots were not taught spin-recovery procedures until the beginning of World War I.
