Bose, if that is correct then the CAA should be issuing new guidelines, and this should have been done BEFORE changing what you examine to, how can they advise applying power simultaneously with forward controls then advise Examiners to fail people who then follow this. I agree trying to "drive"out is wrong, but IMHO the difference is obvious when the pitch down is made.
N.B. Still think power at the same time SHOULD be the correct way for SSR in SEP, not accepting big aircraft techniques where they are not needed.
And Crash, yes, gliders DO recover OK without power, so do powered, but minimum height loss is achieved with power and this is where the appropriate technique for type comes in.
Phiggs - never heard such twaddle, there is a difference between "wing drop" and "wing drop into a spin" if that is happening you are definitely doing something wrong!!
