Default RE: Basic

Since none of the roll directions on this sequence have any consequence, I would suggest that you leave the direction out entirely. When you are flying, you most likely favor one roll direction to another. You might do better to just go with what you do naturally and leave the excess words out. The more you have to listen to, the harder it can be to concentrate on things like wind correction etc.

One other suggestion is on the spin, have your caller directions say "exit upright" instead of "end going left" (or right). One of the most common mistakes in a spin, after the entry point, is to over rotate the number of turns. If you do the correct number of turns and then only focus on exiting upright, you will be headed in the correct direction when you recover, every time. It can be more confusing to sort out flight directions than doing what tends to come naturally, i.e., recover upright when headed straight at the ground. I only suggest these things because they may help lighten your overall workload and allow you to concentrate on flying more.
