Broomstick. I take your point, but what concerns me most is the obvious lack of what I believe to be basic stick and rudder skills. For example; go-arounds from too high approaches when a simple sideslip would have sorted it out. Trying to fly 90 degree turns on glide approaches from downwind etc etc. The answer to "Why didn't you?" is invariably "I've never been taught".
I'll just put my flak jacket on.......
