Improve Finnish translation and give practical examples of JAR-FCL 1 PPL syllabus “Spin avoidance” Excercise

JAR-FCL 1 requires the inclusion of exercise 11: “Spin avoidance” in the PPL(A) syllabus, which includes “stalling and recovery at the incipient spin stage” and “instructor induced distractions during the stall”. The English language version of the document does not infer any active “distraction” to the use of flight controls, for example, as it almost invariably is understood – and done in Finland.

Safety Investigation Authority Finland recommends that the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) consider the translation, provide more detailed comments on the purpose of this exercise, and clarify it with practical examples.
