What is the minimum altitude required to begin OCF spin training?

The minimum altitude required to begin OCF (Old-Centered Flight) spin training is set at 13,500 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level) to ensure that there is sufficient altitude for recovery from the spin and a safe margin for any unforeseen complications during the maneuver. By starting at this altitude, pilots have a greater cushion to execute the recovery process without risking an uncontrolled descent below the minimum required altitude for safe recovery. This level allows for adequate time to react and stabilize the aircraft after entering a spin, as spins can be unpredictable and can lead to rapid altitude loss. Proper training at this regulated altitude is crucial for the safety of pilots as they learn the complexities of entering and recovering from spins, which can be particularly dangerous if not practiced with sufficient altitude to recover.
