I did a simple club checkout with our bazillion hour ex-CFS instructor the other month that included the usual clean stalls etc. (suspiciously high which was a big clue) followed by "I have", yoink, boot, full spin then "you have, recover" 😬
Did a PFL that I genuinely though he was going to let me land in the chosen field, he introduced me to the fine art of 'poor man's low level' wanging around the sides of some cumulus, we did a run in and break and then every variation of circuits including low level with an EFATO thrown in for good measure.
Ended up being a harder work out than my Skills Test and I only wanted to take the Firefly touring while the PA28 was in for annual! Mind you, I reckon I learnt more in that hour than in the previous fifty.
