Unusual attitude recovery advice sought

Unfortunately he gave me some more negative G's on the next one and I couldn't handle it- I grunted and reached out for the controls before he said "recover". On the ground we discussed the situation and my CFII told me that he likes to be aggressive with the unusual attitudes in order that I can handle the worst cases. He also said the CE he uses likes to do the same. Rather than cancel the checkride, his recommendation was that one of us briefs the DE that I have low negative G tolerance. I don't know how I feel about this, it seems like a cop-out to be quite honest. Interesting question. Being able to handle the worst is certainly a good idea. On the other hand, nothing in the instrument PTS requires enduring negative Gs; I don't think my instructors used anything more aggressive than lazy 8s or chandelles to set up unusual attitudes. If you're going to ask the DE to avoid negative Gs, I'd suggest doing so well before the day of the practical test. That way, if the DE isn't going to grant your request, you can find that out before you're committed to pay for the checkride. |
