Alrighty then.....

Inverted and non inverted flat spins are a very routine aerobatic maneuver in many different types of aircraft. Key, it takes power to hold a plane in a flat spin all that is required to recover to chopping the power and letting the nose fall through the horizon.

So I guess I'm not getting exactly what the question is.

Let me ask you one there Capt Carl....

Have you ever flown aerobatics? Are you even a pilot? I'm not trying to be a jerk here but that is a really strange question for a pilot to ask without some further information.

This should demystify it for you somewhat. A flat spin is not that big of a deal if you are trained and your airplane is capable.
