Thanks for the replies. I certainly did plenty of t & g's at shortish strips day and night during my training and I don't think anyone thought too hard about the aforementioned issues in signing me out. However a recent scare with a student after the bucket of bolts we were flying failed to get anything like the advertised take off or climb performance has made me think about it pretty hard. The technique of the student couldn't be faulted in this case, which is lucky to say the least, and I really don't like being reliant on luck.
