Good luck with the skills test.

Ask your instructor what you should do in relation to side-slipping or S turns, since we do not know the type or which airfield etc it is not possible to make a judgement. Though I have to say, you should really know by now. I suspect your instructor will bang you round the head when you ask them!!

Constant aspect does work well from the downwind to touch down point, Don't do it from the beginning of the PFL, it is too easy to land downwind. Instant fail. Some examiners prefer you to only do it the 'CAA way' of a circuit, but again whatever you feel comfortable with and speak to your instructor, they'll know what it is about.

Always have your working out to hand, it shows you haven't just drawn a line on the sheet!

Evo, an interesting technique, but I can promise you that we do look out of the left window occasionally! Always look for the disused airfield though!!
