You'll learn: * Who's most at risk of a stall/spin accident * What your instructor may not know about stalls & spins * The physiology & human factors involved with spinning * Stall/spin dynamics & critical flight operations * Important advice from experts & researchers * The truth about manufacturer-supplied information * How to take charge of your stall/spin education -- The twelve most popular stall/spin myths exposed --
