Touchdown! Greaser!
I'm getting one in a few days. Gimme some ideas of things to do
Steep turns on the stall warning.
Not allowed any more per the ACS. You'll have to sneak off and do it by yourself with no witnesses...
It's much more fun to say "it's not allowed."Not that it’s not allowed, it is not demonstrated on a practical test. I fly an extended time at stall speed with the horn going off almost every flight.
Or maybe just pretend to botch steep turns so badly that the stall horn is blaring all the way around...that way the instructor can feel good about his ability to teach and correct mistakes, too!Not allowed any more per the ACS. You'll have to sneak off and do it by yourself with no witnesses...
Lots of good ideas so far. If you listen to podcasts, give the Stuck Mic AvCast episode 119 a try, titled "Getting the Most Out Of Your Flight Review", where we talk exclusively about this topic.
If you don't listen to podcasts, still give it a try!

In addition to the great ideas listed by others so far, I'll add "tailwind landings" as long as the wind isn't too crazy.

That's interesting. There was a flight school some years back which used to ask for no-flap landings in its presolo phase check. Repeated failures. A significant percentage of the students were treating the flaps as speed brakes and simply could not control airspeed without them.Done it. Besides the usual stuff I decided to do an Emergency descent and no flap landings. Got to do those with a quartering tailwind of around 7 knots. I Hadn't done no flappers since I don't remember when. Probably 30 years ago. Totally butchered the first one, said "ain't no point trying to salvage this" and went around, he said "good job.' Next one wasn't to pretty, had to slip to get it down but landed, long, without having to smoke the brakes. It was a 2500' runway. Last one I flew it no flap but dumped the flaps at 200' to simulate breaking out at minimums and then landing with flaps. That one was ok, an almost greaser touchdown but a little longer than I would have liked. It was C172 by the way. Anyway, I'm cleared to terrorize the sky for another two years
