You would need to know how to do these in order to fly a Tiger Moth properly and safely.
Absolutely, however if the rudder did jam hard over when one went to straighten up you would be on a very short final. The result would be a touchdown with the aircraft crooked and a ground loop. Chance of a fatal outcome, pretty much nil.
A lot different from the full rudder required to perform the tight low level turns shown in the GPS data. Rudder jams up on one of those and you are in a whole different situation.....
A slide slip to land is a required maneuver in many conditions. A tight low level turn is a choice........
