I have to admit when I was upgrading from Flight Engineer to First Officer after an absence of flying for 7 years because of my seniority, my instructor let me crash after I let the speed get too low on a single engine approach and trying to go-around, my whole world flipped sideways as we hit the ground and all I remember saying was "Come on you f*cking bitch !"

I never forgot the importance of speed control in a jet after that.
