About this document
AC 61-67, Stall and Spin Awareness Training, provides FAA guidance on the aerodynamics of stalls and spins and on the flight training that builds awareness and prevention. It explains how stalls and spins develop, the conditions that lead to inadvertent entries (particularly in the traffic pattern), and the training instructors should provide.
It complements the stall and spin chapters of the Airplane Flying Handbook and supports the spin-training endorsement requirements for flight instructor applicants.
