Surely the fact that one needs to pull substantial power to go around at the bottom of an aborted ILS should be pretty obvious? Quite frankly if it’s not, a pilot should lose his IR until convincingly retrained. A 3 axis autopilot as on a 109 is not exactly basic hand flying on raw data.

I suggest IR proficiency checks should include the ability to uncouple and hand fly away if not visual at the bottom of an ILS. At least that would reinforce understanding of the basics. Surely many must agree?
