I thought he said; "Show me a range of auto's"
I climbed up to 3000ft and proceeded to morph from a 'standard' 60kt auto to a 'constant attitude' and finally a range auto. The instructor sat in silence as I produced my 'variety pack'
The instructors nickname was 'Chopper' as he had a reputation for 'chopping' poor students.
I can't remember how I got away that day !
Given that you had around 30hrs, I should say you did extremely well! I know many QHI’s who would struggle to get the 3 of them in from 3000ft. I suspect he was impressed, even if he didn’t tell you.
