I felt very challenged when adding two maneuvers together.....such as straight and level.
The 1960's US Army helicopter figure eight NDB tactical approach probably is my first choice of useless exercises used to induce spatial disorientation into newbie pilots.
Done on a windy, turbulent night with a Monsoon downpour going on....it made for good sport.
Nick will probably agree but his having been a Gunship pilot probably saved him from ever doing one as he passed over and did not land out in the boonies as he did his thing without having to stop in....which was his very good luck.
