This is everybody's nightmare: pilots...
It's only a nightmare for me because some expert has told me I can no longer practice what probably would have saved their lives: flying the aeroplane. I don't care what it is: a gentle turn here and there, a raw data ILS on a gin-clear day with no traffic, it all helps me to get in tune with the machine and hopefully, when things to go completely haywire, I'll have the skill to assess and react correctly. An auto-trim design doesn't help, of course.

Don't get me wrong; I am not suggesting spin it, just "upset" the upset to break the status quo. Incipient is the word I used.
