FATAL CRASH Caused by Lack of Spiral Recovery Training. C214

Manufacturers and the FAA are urging everyone that fly weight-shift (aka WSC, trikes) aircraft undergo spin recovery training. I discuss the case of a pilot (and passenger) who lost their life in a spiral they did not understand.

Note: A LEGAL ultralight is limited to 1 seat and requires no pilot certificate to fly. A 2-seat "ultralight" is, in fact, a Light Sport Airplane and requires a pilot certificate to fly. There is no such thing as a "legal 2-seat ultralight."

I appreciate your showing these failures and expressing concern for other pilots. All those interested in flying should get the proper training before taking to the sky. Keep up the good work.
Oh, BTW, I am so glad you are showing videos from the pilot or passenger perspective. I have always wanted to fly but my wife won't let me. I very much like flying with you in your videos.
Thank you!
