Stall/spin and ground reference maneuvers
Why are pilots so committed to the idea that they can reliably judge airspeed by looking at the sight picture over the nose? What if the runway tilts up and it is surrounded by hills and trees?
The only time that I bet my life on the sight picture is when I'm on a steep final, I'm holding the air brake at a constant setting, and I'm sure that the glide angle and the touchdown point are stable and unchanging.
