Stability and Control characteristics of the Early Mark Spitfires

No. Again.

For example Basic pilot syllabus include spins. The plane used for this where not prohibited for spinning.

You hve also excellent pilot's note video on Youtube regarding P47, 38 etc.. You'll see that spin was not prohibited on those type. I am sure someone will point a similar (real ) vid for an RAF plane

well, why spin the spitfire if they already got trained to do it in a tiger moth that doesn't loose 2,000 feet minimum? hence why they didn't like to spin their expensive new and oh so desparately needed Spitfires, what the Americans had as regulations is the Americans business......nothing to do with the Spitfire....back on topic please.

AP129 encourages spin training and has a whole chapter devoted to it. Aircraft are placarded against spinning because the specific design had dangerous characteristics.

End of story.

in your oppinion, spin training is encouraged in 'training' aircraft, not the newest front line types which might be more usefully used in actual combat, the spitfire was not dangerous to spin....end of story

Wrong again. The pilots notes are clear that if you get into a spin the Spitfire will recover normally. You didn't read the words directly after the ones you quoted. Check your own posting 358

Re the P47 practice spins of more than 1/2 turn are banned according to the pilots notes

[Crumpp]

Wrong again.

Which part?

About AP129?? No

Or the Spitfire placarded against spinning? PROHIBITED is the word they use...IIRC.

[Crumpp]

Yes, my memory was correct. PROHIBITED is the right word.
