Yes.

The idea is to instill an automatic reaction similar to the automatic reaction that is made by an IR pilot on reaching DA but not visual.

The go-arround consists of:

Application of full power while keeping the ball in the middle

Retraction of drag flap......i.e. 40deg to 25deg in PA28

Selection of climb attitude and climbing at appropriate speed.

The above are not variable and are basic handling.

Other recovery techniques are totally variable depending on how high, how slow, was it a bounce or baloon, is the aircraft heavy or light, is there enough runway available or not, will the aircraft bounce again?????????........Too many cheese holes.

Perhaps even more important, after a baloon or bounce, the pilot should take the time to consider what went wrong in the approach/roundout that caused it to happen......and what to do so that it won't happen on the next approach...........it could be a result of a gusty wind......would it be a good idea to divert?

IMHO it complies with the KISS principle......which is ideal for a guy with my brain power!!

Merry Christmas
