A local —very— experienced pilot was on a layover near a Cirrus training facility. Decided he’d get officially checked out in a Cirrus to add to his CFI repertoire.
On one airfield circuit, as they were departing, and with far more altitude than required to do the infamous 180, the Cirrus instructor pulled the power. The pilot/CFI, after determining they had more than sufficient altitude, started to turn back to the field.
The Cirrus check-out instructor said “you fail for not immediately reaching for the chute handle.”
