glider, receive a logbook endorsement 
from an authorized instructor indi-
cating that you are competent and pos-
sess instructional proficiency in stall 
awareness, spin entry, spins, and spin 
recovery procedures after you have re-
ceived flight training in those training 
areas in an airplane or glider, as appro-
priate, that is certificated for spins; 

(2) You must pass a practical test— 
(i) On the areas of operation listed in 

§ 61.409 that are appropriate to the cat-
egory and class of aircraft privileges 
you seek;

the demonstration required by this 
paragraph. If you are taking a test be-
cause you previously failed a test based 
on not meeting the requirements of

tical test on stall awareness, spin 
entry, spins, and spin recovery instruc-
tional competency and proficiency in 
the applicable category and class of 
aircraft that is certificated for spins.
