A Chief Flying Instructor considers this, rolls their eyes, and thinks to themselves another ace sitting across from me, who's actions I could have to explain to someone one day, next... Sure, having extra training and skill, as always better. Knowing when to keep it in your back pocket for emergency use only is great!And...
"Knowing the exercise" is one thing, having the skill to safely exit an exceedance from it may be another. I've seen many pilots enter a situation from which recovery within the airplane limits was in question - and I have taken control a few times.
The three maneuvers your highlight have training merit for advanced flight instruction in accordance with prescribed standards. They may be classified as "aerobatic" in Canada, and thus are not a part of primary flight training. It is not a good look for you that the prime focus of what you present is your dislike for following the prescribed standards under which an FTU you might like to work for is required to teach. Why not just behave like a team member who they would like to hire? If you sat across my desk looking for a pilot job, I'd be thinking twice about what you would be doing with my airplane when I sent you to fly it, let alone what a student would be experiencing.
I agree that PPL flying instruction and curriculum in Canada is an entry point. It is adequate, and produces safe PPL's who are then very much encouraged to go for advanced training. Step by step.... Show the potential employer (the purpose of this thread, right?) that you would like to follow those steps, not jump rock to rock across the river!
I'm not saying I will operate rogue, but rather have extra tools that other instructor won't have. And there are MANY approaches to instruction. For example, in my previous life as paramedic, you could see a very distinguish between civilian paramedic and military paramedic, and not just the emphasis on trauma vs cardiology, but also in the tools and methods (fast and under stress vs more calculated approach, one tool fits all vs using different tools), and yet - both are getting the same end result.
In 2016, I saw a solo student crush their Cessna in CYOO, and that was right after the class 1, also being the CFI, signed them for solo. Even with all their knowledge, you can bet they came under the microscope with TC. They were lucky the student only suffered minor injuries, otherwise, like they said, the Class 1 would probably get suspended or potentially lose their license, even though they are more qualified than a class 4, so always worth keeping in mind that we are all humans
