All I do all day with my students is let them almost fly off the side of a runway just to take over at the last second and explain what went wrong. You pracitice emerg descents for commercial ect. so what was so dangerous there? It's required to learn how to do. Not to mention to get the high altitude endorsement it's recommended to learn. All I'm hearing now is kneejerk reactions to something being blown out of proportion. Like I said is killing one engine, doing stalls, emerg procedures, spiraling descents, slowflight, steep turns ect. dangerous just because you're in a bigger more powerful aircraft? If not then why would a simple throttle chop and nose over be dangerous? Never exceed any airspeeds and never really went over 1g. Give me a break on the dangerous aspect of what happened.
First of all a merlin is not a 172, and tommorow because of this post i will be officially conducting inverterted ILS approaches with my students, both of us under the hood, and we will be flying with trim alone, because like TD said, they have to learn somehow.
