You understood me perfectly
Just a few days ago I was discussing this very thing with a mate who is a senior checker at Ansettstar.
He recounted the time when he was doing a flight test in a seminole 20+ years ago and having had the engine fail he had it flying straight and level at full throttle but couldn't get anymore out of it. The 'instructor' had pulled the gear circuit breaker without saying anything and as a result the gear did not retract and no lights showed on the panel.
Someone like that needs taking out the back of a hangar and 'educating'.
