First area solo and he should have been practicing what's in the syllabus for the issue of a PPL. Perhaps a few steep turns at 45 or 60 degrees AoB, climbing descending turns, medium level turns etc. But according to the link above, he was bored and decided to do a turn at 120 degrees AoB which pretty much means he's rolled the aircraft inverted, and expected to recover at 300 ft AGL?? All this at probably 20 hours TT?
I've been a flight instructor in the past and have about 1000 hours instructional flight time and I've never heard of any maneuver that requires a 120 degree AoB.
I wonder whether the playing on flight sim on the home PC have given student pilots a false sense of confidence these days to try such maneuvers.
