I actually think T'nG's at short fields are much safer initially if you're intention is not to land you can set yourself up for a "trial" approach, see what the last 200agl feel like, check the drift, float, wind, obstacles, surface, and then see where your aim point would be, if you get it wrong, no dramas you still have the kinetic to fly away.


I think rocking up and saying from the word go that "I am going to Land no matter what" is challenging fate, and as we all probably know fate is female, and does not discriminate......
