Spins below which altitude are prohibited?

Spins below 10,000 feet are prohibited primarily due to safety considerations. At altitudes lower than 10,000 feet, pilots have significantly less time and altitude to recover from a spin before they reach the ground. This limited time can increase the risk of a crash if the spin cannot be effectively managed.

Higher altitudes provide pilots with more room to execute recovery maneuvers and sufficient time to regain control of the aircraft before approaching the ground. Regulations are designed to ensure that flight training and maneuvers that include spins are conducted in a safe environment where the risks can be managed appropriately. Therefore, conducting spins above 10,000 feet ensures that pilots can maintain a higher level of safety.
