Just interested to know if anyone can see a (good) reason why an instructor would want me to do a PFL from 2000' with the mixture pulled?
This was getting rechecked out in an SEP that was 20 minutes out of its 50 h service, flying at a non-ATC airfield, no one else in the circuit. After one PFL from the circuit at 1000' and two EFATOs - one at 1200' for a 180° back to the r/way with the benefit of a strongish wind - this was the last one he delivered to me.
Is there any overwhelming benefit to be gained from creating a realistic engine-out scenario, or was this just plain daft?
