Wow! Even with the "docile" "ideal conditions" and "very
experienced" qualifiers, I find this 800' comment in an
officially sanctioned instructor's guide to be highly
surprising. There's not much room here for anything
unexpected from the student or the aircraft.

What it is Todd, is lunacy.(officially sanctioned of course)

If anyone did this to me after we landed safely(if we survived) I'd be
tempted to rip the stick out of the front cockpit and severely
chastise the "instructor" about the head and shoulders with it.
