Good stuff from Genghis.

I would add that more than a few PFLs have turned into real ones when the throttle was opened to go around. It is very important to remember this can happen, especially if it has got cold during the idle glide, and always allow for it. This means stopping the PFL as soon as you have any doubt that it will be OK, not waiting to see if you can stop it being hopeless.

It also means doing a gentle throttle opening not a slam. Give the thing max chance.
