Dont worry about the PFLs, EVERYBODY on my course hated them!! I even heard of one guy on a mates course who was so worked up about them he turned base at 3000' DOH!!! My examiner got a b0ll0cking during my GFT for mucking about aorund an airfield when he had told them on our departure we were off to do something else, trying not to laugh as would have cost me my pass!!!!
On another note, on my IR checkride coming down the ILS I called out 'Minimums' at which point he would usually say 'OK, hood off and land' or 'Go around' but not this time! His response was ' I like you so you are taking her all the way down or I will have you back again tomorrow!' . He took me down to 50' before he took over and landed, he did say he has had poeple land under the ood before but we were slightly too fast for that hence why he took control. I passed though
