Are new students told not to slam the throttle, (or any aircraft control), on their first few lessons ? I cannot remember if I was told that all those years ago, (but I am always gentle with machinery anyway).
Even some airline pilots openly talk about fire-walling the thrust levers, (it's slightly different with gas turbines and FADECS, I know), and some airline pilots couldn't react to TCAS Resolution Advisories gently but put stupid big control movements in.
