I've hit it twice on landing. Full power, pitch just above stall, engines screaming and the plane is going down. Hit hard both times.

Much of this depends on the severity, your altitude, engine spool up time, and how much excess power you can throw in. A little twin only has so much. A jet that can throw in enough for an initial 10k FPM climb is better.

That said, this is ALL about hand flying by the way. My suspicions are a few guys have stalled the aircraft rather then mush in and take the hit if they have to.
