Unusual and Upset Attitude Instruction
This is a 10 hour course providing the pilot with the knowledge of recovery from unusual and upset attitudes as well as spins. Completion of this course will earn the pilot a spin endorsement, which is required by the FAA for anyone wishing to become a CFI and also helps to create a safer pilot by giving him or her the tools to successfully recover the aircraft from an inadvertent spin. For a Spin Endorsement the aircraft has to be approved for Spins. For a Course in Unusual and Upset Attitudes the aircraft must be approved for Aerobatics.
