scenarios that lead to stalls and spins. He
states “stall recognition and recovery is
a major part of everyone’s flight training.” From what I’ve seen many times, I’d
say this is surprisingly not the case.
For example, I was on an evaluation
flight with a CFI job applicant and after
performing a straight-ahead stall entry
and recovery, I asked him to perform a
turning entry. His reply was that he didn’t
know how; he had not previously done
one. This wasn’t the only case. There
were other CFI evaluation flights where
the CFI applicant could not execute and
explain turning stall entries/recoveries,
cross-controlled stall entries/recoveries, or spin-awareness scenarios. While
Davisson’s suggestions are right on the
mark, a major problem for student pilots
is finding an instructor who will provide
this training.
That obviously raises the question of
how those CFIs passed their CFI checkrides (usually given by FAA inspectors). 
How about checkrides for private, instrument, and commercial ratings?  The FAA
Airplane Flying Handbook recommends
stalls be practiced from both straight and
turning entries for both power-on and -off
conditions.  But evidently, pilots and CFIs
both may go through the entire process to
certification without following the recommendations in the FAA’s own handbook. 
It’s no wonder that, as Davisson says,
“Pilots keep making the same two basic
mistakes that no properly trained pilot
should make.”

ERRATA

The article, “Big Fish in a Little Pond”
(June 2013 Flight Training) should have
specified that a sport pilot may land at an
airport within Class B airspace so long as
he or she has received training and a logbook endorsement from a flight instructor.
Some airports (listed in Appendix D of
FAR Part 91) prohibit solo student, sport,
and recreational pilot activity.
The article, “Weigh In” (July 2013 Flight
Training) was written by Rebecca Gibson.
Flight Training regrets the errors.
