Feathering,
Looks as if it is straight down the middle! The bet was with an English gentleman who claimed that "every" company in Europe,operating single engines, does full touch down autos "regularly".My contention was , as in the US, most companies would shy away from that due to repair costs, out of service times and insurance costs associated with training incidents or accidents.
Well, I have shown him this thread and we decided to downgrade to a 12 year old Scotch and share the cost!

Nonetheless, please keep this discussion going as I am getting valuable input here to build a case for at least a once a year event in a fleet aircraft.
