Yes they are taught to do them when one HAS TO DO THEM But not all at the same time . Please tell me where you would wish to come to a high OGE hover at 70 ft down wind with an aircraft over MAUW or even close to MAUW and to cap it all apply full carb heat ??? Really !!!! anyone of my intructor's who taught that would be sacked.
Even in long lining which I do regularly, coming to a high hover at 50 to 150 ft at MAUW is acceptable because that is part of the job, but not downwind unless I want to end up in a smoking hole.
The real nub of the problem is the thought you could/should be doing this, as I said a lack of Airmanship or common sense, what was he taught or not as the case maybe !
