Thanks for that. I always endeavour to practice PFLs, but I've never seen this technique explained, although I'd heard of it.
From what I've observed, there are a lot of military pilots on this board - conversely, 'their' way of doing things is often documented here. It seems to me that the millitary have a much better 'hands on' approach/style to various aspects of flying, many which seem to be better than the civilian way of doing things.
It would be interesting if a thread could be started that highlighted these differences, (with explanations, of course), perhaps giving both sides the chance to learn from one another?
