For modern flying, into fully equipped airports with ILS approaches, you should never be in a position where you need to lose a lot of height very quickly.
This is what worries me about modern thinking. You might go the whole of your career without a single serious malfunction, or you might be thrown in at the deep end way before you get your command. Things can get seriously out of kilter sometimes.
I was in the RHS of a shiny new jet when in my mid twenties and the guy in the left just lost it...I mean really came unglued. We were in a storm and surrounded by mountains. On that day (and one other in my career ) I took control of the airplane and used some rather ‘basic' techniques to get on the ground. There was one granite free way to go on a go-around, and that was into the core of the storm. Right or wrong, to my young brain, the rain lashed airfield looked a lot more inviting.
Everything that happened was helped by the fact that we did our training on the real hardware, the training staff were steep on the learning curve and we saw things done by the manufacturers pilots that you would never see today.
Trying to balance on a knife-edge of careful SOPs flying while everything is going wrong, just doesn't hack it.
