Alphaalpha:

I am quite interested in how you got into the pucker factor during your single engine go around in the 310.

Why did you ( or your instructor ) not use both engines to arrest the rate of sink and recover airspeed before you got so close to the runway?

I, like John T. get really nervous when I read about training flights conducted with such narrow tolerances allowed for safe flight.

I just cannot imagine when anyone would attempt to go around on one engine in a light piston engine twin at such a low altitude.

There is no way I would go around in a light piston engine twin with one feathered once I got down to decision height, far better to land in 0/0 weather than try to go around.

Or to put another way why would you get yourself in such a perdicament in the first place?
