What rubbish you speak, have you ever had the donkey stop ? Can assure you that it does not involve a height loss of 1000 ft If that was the case I wouldnt be here. If you had stuck with your 300 ft I would say yes thats about right. Regularly do throttle chops from 500 ft downwind to full touchdown with students, whom quite often are not expecting it. Yes you have to be quick to get the aircraft round into wind ( loose 300 ft in a 300 from 70kts to a 50 kt auto). Granted the reaction time to it happening for real is a bit quicker, but as I said at the start when it happened to me the lever was punched down without me having to think about it.
