Sennadog that's a good way to end up crashed short of the threshold...particularly in high DA situations. You can too easily end up in a situation where you have full power on and no matter what else you do your ROD will increase dramatically....I've seen it happen more than once...luckily not usually fatal.
Simple accurate flying is all that is required!
Be VERY WARY of information that comes from the mouths of (young) instructors...on subjects other than the pilot licence curriculum (and even that sometimes
) as they tend to have no experience on the subject and are only regurgitating bar talk from someone else who has, probably, little or no experience.
The similarities between Flying Schools and the real world ends at aeroplanes parked outside!
