What kind of aggravated spins are considered prohibited maneuvers?

Spins that last more than 2 turns are classified as aggravated spins and are considered prohibited maneuvers in the T-6A. This prohibition is in place because prolonged spins can result in a decline in control authority and may lead to dangerous situations, including loss of control of the aircraft. The T-6A is designed with a specific operational limit that dictates the maximum acceptable duration of a spin to ensure safety and maintain control throughout the maneuver. Exceeding two turns can exacerbate these risks and lead to structural considerations regarding the aircraft's ability to recover safely.

While spins with gear down, spins that last more than one turn, or spins performed with excessive altitude are also topics of consideration, the specific operational limit regarding the duration categorically identifies spins beyond two turns as aggravated and thus prohibited. Understanding this limit is crucial for pilots to ensure they adhere to safe operating practices.
