Thanks for the clarification.
Of course you're a fully licenced professional pilot, but what should I call one flying with a CFI as PIC (assumption made here)? EASA terminology and non native laguage are my excuses for picking that word.
There's nothing scary or dangerous about downwind quickstops in my opinion. Perhaps somewhat useless in CAT A work where performing one would violate several FDM-parameters. And if you could justify that it was a nessessary maneuver then there would be the question how did you end up in that situation.
