What is the minimum altitude for spin recovery in Canada?

The minimum altitude for spin recovery in Canada is established at 2,000 feet above ground level (AGL) because this altitude provides a safe margin to execute recovery techniques if an unexpected spin occurs. This altitude is considered sufficient to allow a pilot time to assess the situation and recover the aircraft safely, as spins can lead to significant altitude loss before successful recovery can occur.

Pilots are trained to recognize the signs of an impending spin and to respond appropriately. Setting the minimum recovery altitude at 2,000 feet ensures that pilots have adequate vertical clearance from the ground, accounting for any potential mistakes or delays in recovery actions. Given the need for altitude to regain control of the aircraft, this standard helps to maximize safety during training and flight operations.

The other options represent altitudes that could be deemed too low, reducing the margin for recovery and potentially increasing the risk of an accident in a real-world scenario.
