This question is probably directed more toward instructors.
In my pilot training, the first thing I learned was to recognize a stall. And, during training, my instructor actually stalled the plane and put it into a spin, which we obviously recovered from. Then I had to do it; it was thrilling and a true learning experience.
A different instructor flew very close to a cloud, to give me an idea of the required distance to avoid clouds.
Here's the actual question:
In SCUBA, we practice out of air drills...but we never do it with a tank that is actually empty...at least in the training I have had thus far. Is there any school of thought that would have a student diver really breath out the air and then use a buddy's air to get to the surface. I don't suggest this at any great depth...but, it strikes me as somewhat lacking to pretend to be out of air during such training.
This is, of course, a question for hypothesis only.
