it almost takes the pressure off on approach as if one is slightest bit unsure as to satisfactory flare/approach then just do it again
I was expecting to have to go around off both my approaches on Sunday, being blown around all over the shop until a very few feet off the ground, but both landings were fine. As you say, no pressure, I knew I could throw it away and try again, and I had an alternate in mind for the first landing, andI had a more into-wind runway in mind for the second landing. Having an engine and a Plan B means no pressure at all!
