hence the apparent "emphasis" on speed control
I know what you're saying here, in reality it is 'energy management' but there is no 'energy-meter' in the flight deck so IAS is the next best thing. There is an 'energy-meter' in your bum, it works pretty well, but not everyone bothers to refer to it. I stick to the IAS limits re go-arounds but primarily to cover my 'energy-meter' in case something goes wrong .
