Good final point Silberfuchs, think about how you are going to execute a G/A from a point above 1000 feet......most people haven't as is clearly evident when asked to do such in the sim.
A G/A is not a difficult manouvre, nor should it be but it does require some pre thought and this is where many fall as we (as a collective body) are so preoccupied on getting the dunlops on the asphalt.
