And I witnessed a trainee perform the following exchange which made me cringe.
"Thai XXX, expect a couple of spins at XYZ, bring back the speed now"
"Say again"
"Thai XXX expect a couple of spins at XYZ bring back your speed"
"Thai XXX not understand, say again"
Trainee now getting a bit irate... "Thai XXX, bring back the speed, you're going to hold!!"
Long pause....
I take the RT.
"Thai XXX hold at XYZ, reduce to minimum clean speed"
"Hold at XYZ reduce minimum clean, Thai XXX"
I wouldn't mind doing a spin over XYZ in a Cessna 152 but only in VMC and with no one below. But to expect someone to do that in an airliner is asking for disaster.
