Had a student on a solo navex down to YLTV get in front of a SAAB and cause it to go round, many years ago. The student landed and stopped feeling a bit shaken as he thought he had done something very wrong and apologized over the radio.

SAAB crew decided it was better to go round, and the student heard this and thought they were in big trouble. I think from what the student described it was a check ride with three crew up front...
