I recently chopped the power on a fairly good student at 2000'AGL right above the nearly 1km runway at EGPG. Noone else in the circuit, not a breath of wind, I've even called a glide approach to land for him.

Me "So where are we going to land"

Student (blind panic) "How about that field there?" . He points to a tiny field with cows, and power lines in it directly next to the runway.

Me "Are you sure?"

Student "Yes"

Student proceeds to fly me towards field down to 100 feet when I call a go around. I even stared at him looking bewildered the whole way down. I give up!

Gotta love em!
