EH?, what happens if you need to go around and you havn't got the prop fully fine? Happend in a Mooney once when I was not PIC and the prop wasnt fine and it didnt climb very well at all!
I can't imagine how this can happen as the go-around drill (for a piston) that was drummed into me during my training was "Pitch up, power up, gear up, flap up etc". It sounds like maybe the PIC got flustered at the time and didn't go through the drill in the correct order(?)
Sorry, just a late edit. I was also taught that it was not always necessary to have the props
fully fine on a go around. Just sufficiently high to allow the required application of MAP without overboosting the engines and still maintaining a reasonably high positive Roc. So, when on a go around off on an ILS approach (normally conducted at 18"MAP 2400RPM 120KIAS), I just advance the power levers to 24" which gets me started on the go around and after I have cleaned up I may elect to go to 25"/2500 RPM to complete the climb if required. Works well for me and presents very little hassle.
