I did this in my TR182. I said so. It is NOT an aerobatic aircraft
Being an aerobatic aircraft has nothing to do with it - you are not doing aeros, the trouble with flying a set bank angle and speed is that your head is not where it needs to be - outside the aircraft, set the bank angle and speed and try and fly these with your head outside - either the bank angle increases (stall/spin) or the speed reduces (stall/spin) or both, if it goes the other way (bank angle decreases or speed increases) you probably will not get round the turn. fly head inside and you do not see where you are properly in the manouver -not a good idea that near the ground, plus of course the idea is to get to a workable piece of ground, wings level and enough speed to flare, if you are concentrating inside you could well miss this as well! This is why you want head outside, and to be able to pull by feel.
