Unhappy

Quid. Thanks - good hints there. The instinctive use of aileron to correct roll with lift off engine failure is common - as you know. Your advice to get the student to nullify this by putting his hands around the control column (for the purpose of demonstration only, of course)is the answer. I'll give it a go next time. Re dead stick landing practice. Assuming that you have positioned nice and high early downwind leg around 6-8000ft, I am always in two minds whether to advise student to get the gear down early in the peace and adjust flight path to allow for increased rate of descent - or to remain clean for as long as possible. This assumes that the engine driven hydraulic pumps are windmilling fast enough to get pressure into the gear down line.
Any ideas?
