Five hours of dual low flying instruction is a rip-off just like five hours of tail wheel endorsement is a rip-off. In another era, dual low flying at 200 feet was part of the PPL practice forced landing training in the designated low flying area.During PPL navigation training, low flying was then incorporated into a navex for 15 minutes on one or two legs prior to the final PPL test. There are a few minor aspects to low flying that are easily demonstrated by a competent instructor, but over the years it seems people have greatly exaggerated the basic handling skills needed for low flying and thus significantly increased the cost to the student via more hours.
