Centaurus, yes, as a part of the low level approval course which is an advanced course and essential prerequisite for people who want to go on to ag work, mustering, surveying, water bombing etc. eg they would already hold a CPL or do it as part of their CPL training. It wouldn't be very safe if these people couldn't recover from a stall at the levels they would be working at. The course is run by a very experienced instructor who specialises in this type of advanced training.


The sad fatalities we see in the mustering industry of pilots who have never done this course (and therefore are operating illegally) shows how important this type of training is.


Of course we "stagger" up to 3500AGL for the ab-initio students, though it only takes about five minutes in my PA38 and those minutes can be used wisely if your instructor is doing the right thing by you.
