and they passed uneventfully
My experience of unusual attitude instruction is limited to
(1) high air speed - "aha, he's hoping to trick me into closing the throttle, so I must be pointing straight up" - sure enough, pointing straight up, airspeed decreasing rapidly, stick forwards, full throttle
(2) low air speed - "aha, he's hoping to trick me into opening the throttle, so I must be pointing straight down" - you can guess the answer
(3) er, spiral dive, bit obvious really.
What else do they do?
How do they get you out of the mindset of gaming the instructor and into the mindset you'd need to be in if you'd upset the aircraft for real, and didn't have an instructor's mind to read to work out what was going on?
