Now I got a chance to do it in the aircraft during training (not enough sim time) so in the middle of the night over Waco at 14000 I slowed it down to the shaker and unlike the sim the pusher fired off pretty easily. And fired off is the best way to describe that thing. Neat to see.
What was the learning objective mandate for that though?

Was it push down, lose altitude and recover, or was it the idiotic "hold altitude +/- 100 feet" fake PTS nonsense, toxic negative training group think that was prevalent at the time in the sims?
