  This was the point of my original post. This maneuver is a good thing to
practice with altitude to spare, but only to teach how extremely difficult it
is to make a return to the airport without lots of altitude. As Gary pointed
out, without a AOA, it gets a little dicey - we all know how stall speed
increases with bank angle and g-loads. What if in a real world situation the
temptation to "help out with a little rudder" and you stall one wing -you are
toast.  As Gary points out, there is very little horizon, lots of ground
filling the windshield and turning very fast. In a real engine failure you are
going to have a lot of adrenalin and maybe some passengers screaming....  All
this makes the difficulty even greater.  Be careful out there.
