Emergency Turns
My philosophy on steep turns was that is was to improve handling and coordination skills, however I would also demonstrate and teach it as an avoiding manouvre!
Of course if you you go on one of those wonderful instructor seminars, one particular instructor will start going on about the EFATO emergency turn back, while possible its also quite a good way for a less expericed pilot to kill himself.
