Sounds simple, but the fact that it's a type ride and the added pressure of the Feds watching over your shoulder and you have a recipe for a nervous pilot.
It's so much more than "just a steep turn".
Really? Feds makes the applicant nervous? If thats the case, I don't want to be a pax when the manure hits the fan up front. You have to be able to perform under pressure. I guess we have a bunch of Tony Romo's at Eagle. Bunch of chokers. It's silly that guys are busting just because the FAA is observing the DE perform the ride.
