Those who question the wisdom of being lightly 'on' the controls with an inexperienced pilot handling have obviously never had the wrong rudder applied on an engine failure - I know a man who has - and the bank angle achieved at 200 feet was 'interesting' - past 90 degrees.
I recall my RAF QFI briefing me on my first night dual circuit "Its just like day flying really, except the controls are a bit heavier".
