In my Individual Training Program (Insurance Company-Lancair Approved), the
360 degree overhead approach
is practiced and is a "final test" for initial-recurrent training.
It is outlined it in my training manual. It sharpens the judgment and
planning skills.
I heartily agree with everything that's been said about it.

(Any graduates of mine ever had to use it for real?)
