Isn't this the one where you lie flat on your back with your hands straight up above your head?
The one that really threw me was the first time I was asked to fly a circuit with the ASI covered up.
Sometimes I wonder if the training's more dangerous than the emergency.
But I stand firm on using flaps as airbrakes after engine failure. When the donk quits, you're flying a glider - and glider pilots routinely land using airbrakes for flight path control.
