All aircraft have blind spots. The skill we need to be taught and
practise is how to manage them effectively. I think one useful
technique is to climb or descend while turning and therefore being
able to clear the air where we are moving into. ie. never climb or
descend in a straight line. When I was learning power in a
C150/152, I was taught to lower the nose regularly during a climb but not turn.

Excellent advice. I learned that from Geoff Horwood when he gave me a
launch at Waikerie over 30 years ago.
