Sorry for my late response, there is no doubting your vast experience, and I acknowledge that, I think we may have our wires crossed slightly too, I was not talking about pushing the props fully fine downwind, but on finals, and in the visual circuit I guess this would happen about 1½ miles out, and on an instrument approach probably about 5 miles. I wholeheartedly agree that pushing the props fine downwind is not the thing to do.
Because this is the way I have been trained I'd rather not start changing the way I do things for obvious reasons like forgetting to do it, however, I have forgotten the RBG check on the odd occasion and it didn't effect the go around at DA/MDA, I'd rather not forget to do it if I encountered another windsheer scenario 50ft above the surface
