Narrative:

My student was practicing steep turns over croten point when he suddenly overbanked the aircraft. I promptly took over the controls and brought the aircraft back to straight and level flight. We then proceeded to swf airport to do some touch-and-go's when another aircraft on the frequency questioned us if we just flew in the area north of croten point. His concern over the FARS was unjustified since the bank and pitch were within tolerances. Again, safety was considered at all times and never did I let the student get into an unsafe situation. I am filling out this report primarily due to my fear of being violated by another pilot for an unjust cause. A student must be able to see how an unusual attitude develops and how to recover from it. As a good instructor I make sure that my students are aware of the recovery procedures.

Title: INSTRUCTOR PLT WITH SPI DOES MANEUVERS OVER POPULATED AREA.

Narrative: MY STUDENT WAS PRACTICING STEEP TURNS OVER CROTEN POINT WHEN HE SUDDENLY OVERBANKED THE ACFT. I PROMPTLY TOOK OVER THE CTLS AND BROUGHT THE ACFT BACK TO STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLT. WE THEN PROCEEDED TO SWF ARPT TO DO SOME TOUCH-AND-GO'S WHEN ANOTHER ACFT ON THE FREQ QUESTIONED US IF WE JUST FLEW IN THE AREA N OF CROTEN POINT. HIS CONCERN OVER THE FARS WAS UNJUSTIFIED SINCE THE BANK AND PITCH WERE WITHIN TOLERANCES. AGAIN, SAFETY WAS CONSIDERED AT ALL TIMES AND NEVER DID I LET THE STUDENT GET INTO AN UNSAFE SIT. I AM FILLING OUT THIS RPT PRIMARILY DUE TO MY FEAR OF BEING VIOLATED BY ANOTHER PLT FOR AN UNJUST CAUSE. A STUDENT MUST BE ABLE TO SEE HOW AN UNUSUAL ATTITUDE DEVELOPS AND HOW TO RECOVER FROM IT. AS A GOOD INSTRUCTOR I MAKE SURE THAT MY STUDENTS ARE AWARE OF THE RECOVERY PROCS.
