STALLS
The stall
characteristics
are
conventional
and
aural
warning
is
provided
by
a
stall
warning
horn which
sounds
between
5
and
10
knots
above
the
stall
in
all
configurations.
Power
off
stall
speeds
at
maximum
weight
for
both
forward
and
aft
C.G.
positions
are
presented
in
Section
5.
SPINS
Intentional
spins
are
approved
when
the
airplane
is
operated
in
the
utility
category.
Spins
with
baggage
loadings
or
occupied
rear
seat(s)
are
not
approved.
However,
before
attempting
to
perform
spins
several
items
should
be
carefully
considered
to
assure
a
safe
flight.
No
spins
should be
attempted
without
first
having
received dual
instruction
both
in
spin
entries
and
spin
recoveries
from
a
qualified
instructor
who
is
familiar
with the
spin
characteristics
of
the
Cessna
172R.
The cabin
should
be clean and
all loose
equipment
(including
the
microphone
and
rear
seat
belts)
should
be
stowed
or
secured.
For
a
solo
flight
in
which
spins
will
be
conducted,
the
copilot's
seat
belt
and
shoulder
harness
should
also
be secured.
Care
should
be
taken
to
ensure
that the
pilot
can
easily
reach
the
flight
controls
and
produce
maximum
control travels.
It is
recommended
that,
where
feasible,
entries be
accomplished
at
high enough
altitude
that recoveries
are
completed
4000
feet
or
more
above
ground
level.
At
least
1000
feet of
altitude
loss
should
be allowed
for
a
1-turn
spin
and
recovery,
while
a
6-turn
spin
and
recovery may
require
somewhat
more
than
twice that
amount.
For
example,
the
recommended
entry
altitude
for
a
6-turn
spin
would
be
6000
feet
above
ground
level.
In
any
case,
entries
should
be
planned
so
that
recoveries
are
completed
well above the
minimum
1500
feet
above
ground
level
required
by
FAR
91.303.
Another
reason
for
using
high
altitudes
for
practicing
spins
is that
a
greater
field of
view
is
provided
which
will
assist
in
maintaining
pilot
orientation.
