then it's a fair bet that this 'student' pulled an armfull of pitch during an 'engine off' when he was somewhat unadjacent to the ground! Probably caught the instructor unaware and the subsequent 'arrival' was inevitable
Letsby, he was solo so I'm sure the instructors intervention would have been more of a 'mind melding operation' than a 'I have control, ****, too late!'

And 'Having done thousands of EOLs in 350s at Ternhill', one would hope you completed RTFQ prior to that!

Nothing like shooting half cocked with an empty mag.

ShyTorque, very droll!!
