Hello Thom
It is the same in the UK. Spin training is no longer part of the syllabus
but used to be and some of the "old school" instructors will demonstrate a
spin as they believe rather than just go to the incipient stage that a full
spin should ensure that most pilots will not want to go there or at least if
they know what to expect if they fly too slowly and out of balance. Glad to
hear the Allegro recovered within 1 turn. What input did you need, just
forward stick pressure or also opposite rudder and did you get close to Vne
during the recovery?
Aircraft spin testing is compulsory as part of the approval process in the
UK and I will let you know the official comments from the test pilot on the
Allegro spin behaviour, when that part of the flight testing comes up.
Here in central England it has been perfect flying weather for the weekend
with clear skies, little wind, good visibility and 50 deg F ! - Not usual
for this time of year
