1. Purpose

This advisory circular (AC) explains the stall and spin awareness training required under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 61 and offers guidance to flight instructors who provide it. This AC also informs pilots of the airworthiness standards for the type certification of normal, utility, and acrobatic category airplanes prescribed in 14 CFR part 23, § 23.221, concerning spin maneuvers, and it emphasizes the importance of observing restrictions that prohibit the intentional spins of certain airplanes.

2. Principal Changes

This change to the AC incorporates new language into subparagraphs 301a and 301b to clarify the current rule allowances for certificated flight instructor (CFI) training. This change also removes a reference to 14 CFR part 61, § 61.167, that is not applicable, and removes subparagraph 301c.
