I haven't got "Handling the big jets" in front of me right now but one of Davies immortal paragraphs is roughly this:
"If you go off the far end and crash you'll sit there, if you survive, saying "what wouldn't I give to have the last 5 minutes of my life over again?".
"Well as you cross the threshold you have that time and if you're not totally happy go around"
Those few lines etched their way onto my heart long ago on slippery short R/Ws. If your sim program doesn't include routine rejected landings at or after touchdown, then ask for it.
