The "BITE" that was expressed may very well be from the fact that the aircraft was outside of the approved category, PTC I am most concerned about the comment from November 2009, I trust that the author was not flying the C172 OUTSIDE of the utility catagory!

If we allow ourselves to spare student pilots from maneuvers that "may induce" spin, then we should stop teaching power-on stalls too. The first thing most student pilots do when alone in the airplane is to fly a traffic pattern where the base to final turn awaits--how then is it logically prudent to omit the training that pertains to the flight undertaken when a pilot is least experienced and most likely to apply incorrect control inputs?

I show ALL post solo students cross controll stalls and full flap power on stalls. Whenever I fly a 172 I will at least once grab another peson to ride along in the back seat and when you perform full flap power on stalls in the 172 with the rear seat loaded you will find out just how hard a 172 can bite; the 172 is quite a handfull under the above circumstances I assure you. It will surprise you if you have never done a full flap power on stall with the rear seat occupied. Students get to see just how bad things could get in a go around situation in a loaded plane that they stall close to the ground.

The privat applicant must be able to explain the aerodynamics of a spin and the situations that may lead to a spin. Crossed control stals is one. Your Comments please.
