Hi Cat Driver:

No problem at all with your comments. We all make mistakes and do things that are sometimes stupid, sometimes embarrassing. In this particular case, the stubid/embarrassing thing was the briefing or my understanding of it. I'm quite happy to share my mistakes with others. That way we all learn something.

The lesson of this thread is, I think, that the safe procedures for cleaning-up in a go around situation differ from a/c to a/c and a low level engine out go-around is a critical situation which you can not afford to get wrong.

So far as practicing at low level is concerned, I really don't have the experience to comment. I'm happy to accept your view.

Thinking about my story a bit further, you should maintain blue-line speed down the approach until you commit to land, shouldn't you. So I was at blue line at the start of the g/a. Since the stall warner sounded, I must have lifted the nose too high and allowed the speed to decay before the a/c was cleaned up. This means I made two mistakes: trying to climb at the expense of speed AND raising the flaps full up in one go.
