Spin recovery procedure.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Spin recovery procedure.

Bottom line

Upon recognition of a spin or approaching spin, the pilot should immediately execute spin recovery procedures. The pilot should initiate incipient spin recovery procedures prior to completing 360° of rotation. Unless AFM/POH specifies otherwise, ailerons are maintained in the neutral position during the spin procedure.
