I don't offer an alternative, but I often think that Ex9 sits uncomfortably after 4, 6, 7 & 8.
My point is that, by the time you have squared away S&L, climbing, descending and all the other gubbins, many students have already had exposure to turning - In reality, they have
some idea what is required. Of course, 9(ii) should pull everything together but I do find that elements of 9 appear earlier in the whole process. My only constructive point is that these first exercises should have the continuity of a single instructor so that any 'melding' can be captured.
PS. Bank, balance, back-pressure. With sharp students I do the whole lot in one. With the vast majority of students I break it down into entry, maintenance and 'rolling-out' (somewhat different order to Beagle but we all have a good reason for a bit of variance). I always start with right turns and, as Beagle says, get the student to be comfortable with those before doing left turns (more disconcerting for the nervous type).
