Human Factors
The issue occurred during my first training flight in the Cirrus SR20 as a new hire instructor. During the portion of the flight leading up to the incipient spin event; I was demonstrating stalls to the chief pilot. However; I was making inadvertent control inputs on the sidestick and thus the stall demonstrations tended to have some wing drop.At this point; the chief pilot took over flight controls to demonstrate a falling leaf. During the incident; I was not on the controls and made no inputs to contribute to the event in question. Over the course of the falling leaf demonstration; the chief pilot made drastic control input and the aircraft entered an incipient spin.Data recovered from the aircraft indicated a maximum roll of 164 degrees and 85 degrees nose pitch down were reached over the course of the event. The telemetry also revealed the aircraft hit a maximum vertical speed of -10;000 FPM.The chief pilot used spin recovery techniques and a developed spin was averted. Following the recovery the chief pilot said; 'I wanted to see how close I could get and recover'. The chief pilot also asked if he had scared me or shaken me in an aggressive and intimidating tone.Following the flight; the chief pilot made no report of the event to dispatch or maintenance. The event was only recognized after I went to Human Resources and filed a complaint against the individual; which contained details of this incident as well as other harassment related issues.
SR20 flight instructor reported the flight school chief instructor demonstrated excessive aircraft flight control input and did not report unnecessary stress that was placed upon the airframe.
