Whaaat?

In all cases you must maintain current altitude +-100 feet, or you fail the test.
Whaaat... what on earth is the point of training like that, other than to killl people? A ridiculous criterion, someone please explain, thanks

Stall recovery is all about regaining FULL CONTROL quickly, least fuss and with the minimum of altitude loss, but that last proviso is just that.. a LAST proviso, and 99/100 times not important in the greater scheme of things. And that must be emphasised in training, if you use every last foot to recover, recovery is the important bit, no?

Has the world gone mad or is itme (again)?
