Spin recovery in a Cessna 152

Here's how to get into and recover from a spin in a Cessna 152. Turn on subtitles to see exactly what's going on.
A spin is an abnormal flight condition that happens when an aeroplane is in an aerodynamic stall while also rotating around its vertical axis due to a yaw component. To get into a spin, you:
1. Perform a normal power-off stall by slowing down, reducing power to idle, and raising the nose above the critical angle of attack
2. Rapidly stall the plane by pulling back on the yoke, and simultaneously applying full rudder in the direction of the spin
3. Maintain the spin by keeping the maximum control deflections
To recover from a spin, you use the acronym PARE:
1. Power -- IDLE
2. Ailerons -- NEUTRAL
3. Rudder -- FULL OPPOSITE SPIN, until the rotation has stopped
4. Elevator -- PUSH NOSE DOWN to break the stall, then slowly and smoothly point it upwards.
Power is added back when the speed has decayed below 80kts. The aircraft loses around 1000ft of altitude during this 2-spin maneouvre.
Note that this is not an instructional video. This manoeuvre was practiced thoroughly with a CFI beforehand. The plane itself is certified to do spins, its weight&balance was within the bounds of the utility category, and it was stripped of all extra items before the flight. If you want to try this at home, read your POH and ask an instructor :)
