What is the minimum altitude to start spins according to the guidelines?

The minimum altitude to start spins according to the guidelines is established to ensure the safety of the pilot and the aircraft. Starting spins at an altitude of 10,000 feet MSL provides a substantial margin for recovering from the maneuver, allowing for ample altitude to regain control and minimize the risk of colliding with the ground in the event of an unexpected outcome during the spin.

This altitude also accounts for the factors that may affect recovery time, giving pilots enough time to react and execute the correct recovery procedures. While higher altitudes allow for even more safety margin, the guideline of 10,000 feet MSL serves as the baseline for standard operating procedures in flight training and maneuvers involving spins.
