Pess full rudder one direction before pattern entry to simulate a

applicant is lined up with the runway as a landing with full rudder is
not good for the glider.

Um ... on the glider I fly most often (original Janus) that results in
the opposite wing pointing almost exactly in the direction in which you
are travelling, a rather high rate of descent, and then loss of elevator
control which in (in my experience at least) then results in a
relatively slow but totally uncontrollable 30 or 40 degree pitch down.
And that's the point, I'm afraid, at which I put the rudder back in the
middle.
