Do it at Simulated Idle, not low idle. With some power, not idle, some flaps and some carb heat too to get 700 fpm when level. Then turn. "Simulated Idle". Be good to the good engine.
I know you said this is for the commercial pilot.... but I had to do this for my private. Is there a difference? FYI... I was under the foggles, and my DPE told me to take them off, and as soon as I did... he said... "You lost your engine". I had to land with no power at a small, uncontrolled airport.
It's a great skill to learn as a private pilot! It helps make your regular landings better too in addition to learning to deal with an emergency. When you go to take your private pilot checkride you will not be tested on the Power-off 180. That's why it's called a "commercial maneuver" because it's not required to perform on a checkride until the commercial pilot practical test.
Love that you guys are going over all commercial maneuvers!

@@drewfliesbikesAll pilots should know short approaches. My CPL CFI learned them at 8 hours he said. I learned them much later with my lame cFi i had.
Your videos are great. The background music is very distracting.
Great video and info!
When you slip, it flows
I leave the flaps out until im on final😉
Out is out. You mean flaps up.= IN..
