Pull back on the controls to maintain altitude.
:yeahthatDid you leave out the sarcasm tag? If you are serious you just killed yourself.
Scary story with that, a friend of mine's dad was a DPE for a while, and well, here's the story:
The guy is giving an instrument checkride and is nearly done, when the applicant is shooting an ILS to a full stop. She crosses the inner marker and looks over at him "I want to die," she says, and shoves the nose forward. The DPE says "You do but I don't, and karate chops a couple times in the neck and pulls out about 50' AGL. Apparently, at this point he says, "take me back," and she flies him back and he takes the landing. Funny, but really spooky.
Did she pass....?
Joke?
ah, yes. Just to clarify, the appropariate thing to do is to reduce power and increase the bank angle to shorten the turn radius back onto the final approach course...![]()
I'm pretty sure I'm getting the joke, but humor me for a second.
If you do this, you'll still kill yourself. Level the wings, lower the nose a tad, go full power and go around. You may or may not be joking, at this point it doesn't matter and you don't want to give people the wrong impression here or reinforce some students bad ideas either. I've had people do this, and the next lesson suddenly becomes spin training.
Understood. My instructor told a story about some kid pulling the mixture all the way back abeam the numbers; mistaking it for the carb heat. That will wake you up.
