Narrative:

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.
