And they've somewhat recently changed the dity significantly.

Lane, lock, sock, extra 100 feet.

VSI at or below zero, entering.

Down, right, idle, turn.

Attitude, Nr, ball. Attitude, Nr, ball.

200 feet, into the courseline. 150 feet, collective full down.

75 feet, flare. Twist grip, twist grip, twist grip. Twist grip full open. (Roger, full open)

15 feet, Pull, Pause, Level. Taxi, taxi, taxi.

It's a total mouthful to get it all out. But due to all of the roll overs lately, they changed a bunch of stuff.

Does the instructor ever say "Jesus Christ....i have the controls!!!!" right after the pull pause level step?

Do they not do full autos anymore?

Full autos and power recovery in the -57B. Only power recovery in the charlies.

Bzzzzzt.

That's been the ditty since well before any of the mishaps occurred.

Most of it was in place, that's true. But then they really started stressing things, like the position of the twist grip.

For cut guns they made another huge long dity that was just about impossible to get out in the 3-5 seconds it took for you to settle to the ground. That dity came mostly from the mishaps involving rollovers that happened after cutguns at the end of power recovery autos.

Only if you're really good and skilled.

There were a couple of incidents when the instructor gave the cut gun at 15 feet (instead of 5) and the stud hard landed it. Another couple of taxi cut guns were initiated at way more than taxi speed. The studs didn't have good yaw control and due to the excessive ground speed, rolled.
