After reading that accident report, one of the things that surprised me was that in ultra safe JAA land, it is not mandatory for a student on a solo flight to use the callsign "student g-xx" to alert the controller that there is an inexperienced student pilot flying solo.

Even in deepest darkest Africa where I did my PPL, this was standard phraseology on first contact with an ATC unit !!!.

I was also taught to treat every landing as a potential go-around in which you decide to land rather than go-around, that way you are always prepared to shove that throttle open if needs be.
