Salute!
The problem goes back to two things:
1) Prior planning prevents piss poor performance
2) A lack of disciplne or whatever about shining your ass unless you have done it a hundred times and the boss hasn't grounded you yet. There's established demo routines with associated practice and final approval. In other words, no improvising. (having trouble getting my message across, but it will come to me)
Back in the day, when the Earth was still cooling and Orville had just cleared me to solo, one of our new trainees decided to buzz his nearby grandparents. They got to see him attempt a roll and then prang. So for the next few months we were not allowed to fly solo missions unless in a formation. So that's why I had so many formation rides on the docket.
Make no mistake. I did wild and crazy things as a clueless yute. But I am sure there are young folks today that stretch their envelope more than the plane's envelope.
The video should be mandatory viewing for all training courses, IMHO.
We can talk about technique and control inputs and such, but the video seems to show my point "1" above.
Gums opines...
