Yes, that seems to be exactly the problem. Not an issue on straight and very low aspect rejoins, of course. In higher aspect scenarios one solution would be to go very low (to maintain tally for the low seat occupant), this would then create a significant upwards closing vector which would be hard to quantify without visual cues and therefore hard to teach and replicate safely. I noticed in the past that trainees who understood the visual cues were quickly able to nail efficient rejoins.
I don't have the brain power to reinvent anything and people must be teaching this every working day, hence me asking what technique people use and teach. Does anyone have any written down guidance they would be willing to share with me?
