Nimbus 4DT accident 31 July 2000 in Spain.

Your point doesn't hold. If during the winch launch failure exercise the
instructor has to take the controls and/or overrule the student's input, the
student won't go solo and he will have this game played over and over again.

If an instructor doesn't feel comfortable to train winch failure on a proper
winch launch at *any* height, he shouldn't be instructing winch launches.

Then the instructor gives him exactly two tenths of a second to do the
right thing. Otherwise the instructor takes over and the student can try
again at the next launch.

And that is my point: a practice winch launch failure isn't like a
real one, because ultimately you know that you won't be allowed to do
anything really stupid.
