E,
Happy to disagree!
In my experience most folks that are being flown around like to have a whizz round the block and a nice and smooth ride followed by a gentle landing.
I think that anything other than that should only be undertaken by experienced folks with passengers that are keen and have a fair understanding of what aviation entails and the associated risks are.
The height band in which one would do a PFL is typically the one occupied by low flying RAF hardware.
Furthermore you would not be the first to have to make the PFL into a FL due to a mechanical problem which arose at the moment you want to go-around.
Melodramatic? Not sure. Just don't like to be caught with my pants down.
But anyone who isn't hampered by such concerns should feel free to go for it.
