I can remember when I learnt to fly in the 80s my instructor spent half the landing exercises teaching me not to land. We would cruise down the runway a few feet up getting used to being near the ground! He would ask me than to let the tyres touch and then lift it off again adding a little power!
Strong crosswind day. A cheeky glimmer in his eye and let's go and have fun!
Stalls fully developed and proactive to kicking it into a spin!
He made you abuse the aircraft to your hearts content till you knew exactly what could happen!
What has happened now ?
