I take it you dumped that guy?

Nope. He's a 10,000 hour, gray-haired ATP with a lot of experience to
share and a very good teacher. I would imagine he only hands out tasks
such as these if he has confidence in the instrument pilot taking the IPC.


Or he's showing you what HE can do. The air carriers have been training
these in simulators for years...for a reason.

True, and the reason is that it costs way too much to practice in a real
airliner.


Recall the discussion here several months ago regarding teaching "spin
recovery versus spin avoidance".

Yes, see above. Also, many airliners aren't recoverable from a spin so
practicing spins in them would be ill advised.
