cubdriver, you spun a 172 nav3 yet? a few modifications need to be made before the CG will be in limits.

The FBO I rent from doesn't allow it. If I did I would just look in the POH. Plane has to be free of baggage, back seat not occupied. That's it (right?). It's not a great spin trainer due to the weight restrictions, though I am sure it handles fine as long as it is done correctly. I prefer a 152 or a Cub.

The cool thing is you can do it with a DPE.

The guys I saw do the ride knew the DPE and they were all .3 in the 152. Both of them were older airline guys who just wanted to teach their kids/grandkids how to fly.
