This film points out the difference between an accidental spin and an inverted spin; and demonstrates the procedure of executing an inverted spin. This is demonstrated through footage from the nose during flight, the aircraft itself, and footage of the gages, indicators, and controls needed to exit a spin. A spin is a type of stall resulting in autorotation about the aircraft’s longitudinal axis and a shallow, rotating, downward path approximately centered on a vertical axis.
