If an instructor asks me to do something that is patently unsafe,
I will demur.

I did this on my flight check

We were trained to make a right turn only at 1,000 feet, so as to stay
out of pattern altitude, which is 900 feet, in case someone were
landing the other way. (We trained NORDO, and I took my flight check
in the Cub.)

The examiner called for a turn to the west (right) at 600 feet. I just
said "Roger, turning west at one thousand," and did so.
