followed by use of airbrakes/spoilers for landing is
a good idea.

I agree with the above.

I wouldn't, and don't, practice skids
in car parks. When you screw it up and trash your
car and someone elses you'll look much sillier than
if you screwed up for real; same goes for landing without
airbrakes.

Yikes! A fender-bender in a parking lot doesn't seem as silly to me as a
rollover on a highway. I do practice bad weather driving skills in safe
areas so I don't end up in the accidents that many of our townspeople
participate in every winter. Cars have changed considerably since I
first learned to drive, and what I learned then isn't alway appropriate
now - think about anti-lock braking systems, for example.
