What is the minimum altitude required for intentional spin entry?

1) 500 feet
2) 1000 feet
3) 1500 feet
4) 2000 feet

Answer :

Final answer:

The minimum altitude required for intentional spin entry should be considered at least 2000 feet to allow for safe recovery, although specific regulations may vary depending on the jurisdiction and aircraft. Therefore the correct answer is 4).

Explanation:

Regulations often require that a pilot must have enough altitude to recover from the spin by at least 1,500 feet above the ground. Since recovery can take several hundred feet, initiating a spin near the ground is highly dangerous and against regulation.

Of the choices provided, 2000 feet would be the minimum altitude one should consider for safety reasons and to comply with various aviation regulations, although this may vary depending on the country and the specific aircraft being flown.

Avoid 'anti-spin' inputs, such as relaxing elevator backpressure (to break the stall), and do not apply opposite rudder until ready to recover. ○ Minimum Entry and Recovery Altitude - Intentional spins should be entered at no less than 4,000ft AGL , and recovery should be made no later than 2,500ft AGL .
