| Jul 4, 2017 at 3:12 | comment | added | Brad | @Canuk No, I lucked out and found a logbook that I thought was lost in a move which has my spin endorsement from 14 years ago. I was about to go up in a t-28 trojan to do my spins, but found my logbook. You "might" fit in one of those, but I'm not sure at your height. | |

Just looked up the data for the C172M that I flew most recently and it would be in the utility category with 20 gals of fuel (2.5 hrs), 280 in the left seat, and 130 in the right seat. I'm sure many similar aircraft are out there. | |
| Feb 13, 2017 at 21:22 | comment | added | Pondlife | AFAIK, all C172s are approved for spins. The N-S models are, and I randomly checked an older H model POH and it is too. Always in the utility category, of course, and subject to what the operator, insurance, club rules etc. allow. Those things are probably a bigger issue than finding a C172, but you also have to find one that you can load and stay in the utility category, of course. Every aircraft is slightly different. | |
