I agree 100%.

Of course that only works if you aren't legally a midget...like Paul.

Who are the other instructors? I wonder if the others are the same as well.

Paul switched to tower, so I doubt the other instructors were the same.

Did my LC TWR PV on Friday. All of the tower PVs had the same thing in common. Fast movers overtaking slow guys on the downwind. All you have to do is use extend downwind, upwind (if you catch it in time), make short approach, or right 360 and you'll be fine. If you let it develop it is going to bite you in the butt. They say there are 12 different scenarios but my class only worked like 3 or 4 different ones. Maybe they use 4 for one class and 4 with another and alternate them. I also suspect that different sets of PVs have different focuses. This is all speculation though so take it how you would take anything.

Our class had one retake. Our sister class had 2 retakes. I don't know what their overall outcome was when all was said and done.

you forgot what might be the most important tool to use if needed... "GO AROUND."
