Of course I'm not an ex army pilot, I was simply referring to people who "simulate" things the way the army used to do ie: NEWD = Night Exercise Without Darkness, TEWT = Tactical Exercise Without Troops.

...And someone is suggesting a new one ... GAWFP = Go Around Without Full Power.

And as for being "On the wrong side of the drag curve" where on the curve do you think your aircraft is flying when its a foot or so above the runway towards the end of your flare?

Being a total dumbass amateur, the Go Around is the one manoeuvre I get to practice a lot, and there needs to be no hesitation in using full power, especially on a hot day with a loaded aircraft, and you are staring at the hills coming towards you. Get used to the control forces you will have to endure until you can get the aircraft reconfigured and trimmed.
