Every GA is the same motor action. No choice, no excisions, no doubts. JUST DO IT. 'Nike'.
I don't think they are. Take that 777 GA video from 12" off the ground (or did they touch down?) many pages back http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/5...ml#post9476561. That is nowhere near a "normal" goaround: fly level with the ground/touchdown attitude at zot feet, with full power coming on, then gently rotate away so you don't bang the tail. That is not a motor action. An EGPWS escape is a motor action, processing a set of steps. This prang, I suspect, will be something that requires far more skill than a simple push n pull.
