State of panic (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tailspin

'state of panic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tailspin that I've seen before include "Spiral aeroplane dive" , "confused state" , "Chaotic situation" , "Spiral dive of aircraft in trouble" , "Alpinist (anag) -- state of panic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
