East River turning radius

"Peter Dohm" wrote

Presuming that no one is immediately on top of you, somethng akin to a
duster turn works quite well and only uses about 50 feet to make a really
dramatic difference in the turn radius. I used to do that to turn around a
Tomohawk (PA-38) in a small radius.

I wonder if a low time pilot like this one, at what, about 80 hours, could be
taught to do this kind of turn in a Cirrus? Doubtful, I think, don't you?

I didn't even think of a duster turn. Perhaps that should become a new required
maneuver in the private pilot test? g

Or does that go in the classification of, "Hey, y'all, watch this!" /;-o))
