On the subject of prestall sink at low altitude I used to watch in awe as Fletcher topdressing/AG aircraft pilots used this to great effect. The a/c not only looked like a brick, with barn doors attached but they dropped like bricks also, when this loss of lift technic was implemented. Fascinating to watch. However these guys were doing it day in and day out and knew what they were doing. Like a lot of maneuvers unless you're doing it as a day job great care must be taken with the added precautions! I would include FTO's/Examiner's even more so.
