Spin Training with Catherine Cavagnaro – Tennessee

Catherine Cavagnaro is Chief (and only) Flight Instructor at Ace Aerobatic School. She holds Airline Transport Pilot and CFI-I certificates as well as a Ph.D. in mathematics. Her trusty 1979 Cessna Aerobat “Wilbur” provides a wonderful platform for spins and aerobatics.

The spin course covers spin theory, efficient recovery and typical flight situations that lead to inadvertent spins. Recoveries by instruments, emergency spin recovery procedures and a twenty turn spin may be included. The course may serve as a spin sign-off for the aspiring flight instructor as required by 14 CFR 61.183. The Cessna Aerobat provides a solid and safe trainer for spins. With approximately three to four hours of ground school and two flights, this is normally a one-day course.
