The Instructor should fly the aeroplane, whilst the student experiences the differences in rudder force under each condition.
- absolutely not! There is nothing in FCL1 or the UK MEPL syllabus which suggests that this should be a demo.
The stude needs as much hands-on as possible; why do you think they can't fly the sequence I described earlier (18/May)?
Added later:
apologies Whopity, on reflection my comments seem aggressive and that wasn't the intention - it was late Splitting the handling is always difficult; I agree that it's useful for the stude to concentrate on the rudder pressures during the teaching of the effect of power and speed during asymm1 but not during the Vmc work in asymm2 because they need to have experience of how the aircraft feels.
