I think we're talking "approach idle" here, says the SLF sitting on his couch with Google. I'm trying to understand how many seconds of ground-effect hell the pilots need to endure in such a situation before the TOGA spoolup lifts them away. This is when the decision not to land has already been made. That's the duration when they are basically sitting ducks for crosswind gusts, forced to stay vaguely above the runway and stuck close to the tarmac in altitude.
