AirRabbit - specifically regarding thrust levers, you suggest that if they require advancing late in the landing a go around should be initiated. I have flown plenty of approaches where a late positive addition of thrust was simply required to arrest the rate of descent very late in a landing rather than due to a condition that would require an immediate go around.

As ever though, we are simply talking about appropriate control inputs at the appropriate time to achieve the demanded flight path.
