Thumbs down

I see. I figured what with the references to army exercies you must've been in the bizz...

Regardless... yes, the a/c passes through the back of the drag curve after power is cut furing the flare but..

full flap descending flight on the back end of the drag curve with minimal power
...sounds like you were talking about flying down final, not floating in the flare at 1 foot.

there needs to be no hesitation in using full power, especially on a hot day with a loaded aircraft
Why make sweeping statements? What if you're at 500ft? So you apply FULL power, then get yourself in a tizz with all the over-powering control forces you seem to encounter, then trim it out, wipe your brow... and reduce power for the climb!!!!!

After take off, you reduce power, don't you?? What's the difference? After your go-around, you're at the safer end of the runway, you're posibly lighter (end of flight) and unless you go-around from 1ft above the runway, you're starting from a safer altitude. What's the drama??

you are staring at the hills coming towards you
What hills? I thought you were on final approach??

Get used to the control forces you will have to endure
