The training scenarios are flawed. In both AF and Colgan there existed altitude that could be lost - traded - for a flyable wing.

I added a G-IV type in August and the practice was the same.... We'll you lost 50 feet on that recovery....let's see if we can get that down a bit. Really? We're at 10,000 feet!
I knew in my heart that this was crazy talk!!! I had never heard of this obsession with 50 feet of altitude until I got to the 121 world. I just shook my head and gave them what they wanted....

It is amazing that, with all that we have learned over so many years, we still have this kind of insanity being pushed and accepted.

Who the hell approaches to a stall anyway?
