CFI Spin Training is serious business. As a prospective Flight Instructor, you need to understand that you no longer have that safety blanket sitting in the right seat. You must BECOME the safety blanket for your students! The Spin Training required by FAR Part 61.183(i)(1) requires instructional proficiency in stall awareness, spin entry, spins, & spin recovery. We will teach you that plus the common "gotchas" from students and how to instruct with confidence in any corner of the envelope.
Plus, they're a lot of fun!

Our Basic Aerobatics Course is a master class in finesse and energy management. Aerobatics in the Stearman is like taking a school bus to the Charlotte Motor Speedway: She'll go around the track just fine, but she won't win any races. This is not a Pitts or an Extra. The Stearman is heavy and makes you work for it!. We will guide you through learning to perform Spins, Loops, Barrel Rolls, Aileron Rolls, and Hammerhead Stalls. Each lesson includes a thorough pre-flight briefing of each maneuver.
