UPRT done. It was a real eye opener about the things I forgot from gliding days but more-less everything just came back after first hour. We did countless stalls, spins, extreme nose up/down recoveries with different scenarios and techniques, couple of inverted recoveries, couple of steep spirals recoveries induced by steep turns, few engine out landings including two “impossible” turns (which turned out to be possible with incredibly low altitude). In the end my stomach was quite happy it ended after 3 hours in the air in total.
Unbelievable! Nobody here does that

Curious to know what altitude you did the “impossible turns” from? And in what aircraft?
In my 182 500’ was definitely possible, 400’ probably if all the alternatives were worse. In the TB20 I suspect 700’ is the minimum but I haven’t had a chance to try.

Pipistrel Virus – 300 feet AGL.

Didn’t realise the Virus is aerobatic? Not for the impossible turns, but for the other stuff.

It’s spin approved.

Wonderful Emir, hope you have many nice flights and that they don’t treat you like a night-flight freight dog 
So, with all this extra income you’ll prob40 show up in a DA62 on the next fly-in..

or worse, like You’ll Be Flying A Cargo Plane Full of Rubber Dog Shit…
My first company as a pilot, year 1990, still had a few of them 340s left… man, I took a couple of positioning flights, and never ever flew in an airplane that LOUD! (Say what…?). The assigned pilots also reported the OEI OPS as being almost as interesting as on the Metroliner they flew before…
At which point I was perfectly happy to start on, ride thru, and finish my career, on… jets
PS
Yep, looking forward to see that DA62 too
