It works perfectly well if you know how to do it and set yourself some reasonable gates. Intervention training is generally part of upgrade courses and is a big part of TRI courses. When we do qualify TREs for base training we spend at least an hour each in the sim to practice all sort of mismanaged handling at low height, it just takes a bit of practice.
