Because it is not something you train for in most carriers. It is basically a takeoff in which the aircraft is trimmed for a very low speed, with flaps not in a TO setting and the TO Config blaring at you. This wasn't a base training TnG, it was an "ohh sh1t, we are running out of room to stop" TnG. I've never heard of a carrier actually training this maneuver.
Thanks

Point Taken

my brain was fried with all the touch & go's that I watched with JAL 747's at Moses lake and PanAM when they took those L1011's ... but that was many years ago
