A different take on Vuichard

So, normally whenever an instructor and I have done VRS recovery (both techniques) its always been at like 2,000' agl. Well recently, an instructor had me do it at 100'.

Now (of course) we didn't actually enter VRS at just 100', but he did have me do the side step recovery maneuver at that altitude while on a decently fast approach, saying that (in reality) that's more likely where this technique shines, as (of course) 100' is waaaay to low for the traditional one.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I finally got to experience a more practical way to practice this maneuver.
