We could have been a Club PA38 with private low houred pilots on board,who might well have been spiked by this and landed over his head,or screwed up the go around from a low level.
A bit patronising in my opinion.
I am a low (200+) hrs PPL & remember during my second solo (consolidation) I was cut up 3 times by a helicopter on final, then when I was asked if I had the Robin in sight said "Negative" misreading Robin for Robinson just as said Robin shot under me & landed from a low straight in. Go around 4. I found it educational, my instructor was complimentary. I didn't find it required an inquest reminiscent of the Gettysburg Adress. I asked the heli pilot what the vis was like from an R22, "excellent", --"then why couldn't you see a 152?"--" Sorry mate, I'll buy the coffee". Happiness all round & no raised blood pressure. I suggest you get a grip yourself.
