Thanks Alan, hope the HEL wx is still tolerable.
Bergerie1,
At risk of being accused of attempted one-upmanship, I remember on my conversion at LGW (as late as 1971, having done several years on prop-driven craft in BUA-associated companies), we were doing a 2-eng go-around (or overshoot, as we said in those days) on 09. We were very light and the trainer, Bill Evans, decided it was going so well that he throttled back a third engine. As we approached the terminal building, struggling to climb, he soon realised that we were likely to get a bollocking from the tower!
