Cirrus down at Bankstown

This ATSB report on the Bankstown Cirrus 22 accident is worth reading. It includes extracts from NTSB reports on similar Cirrus 22 landing accidents in USA.
A low energy go-around (as from a bounced landing) can be quite critical if the speed is close to the stall when the go-around occurs. Old warbirds such as the Mustang and Sea Fury could be a handful on low energy go-aounds. Even a low powered aircraft such as Cessna 172 can yaw and pitch up quite markedly as full throttle is applied if a go around takes place from a bounced landing or after several bounces.
I would hazard a guess and say that most flying school instructors (especially new graduates) teach practice go arounds from short final at 200 feet where there is plenty of time to correct mishandling. On the other hand few would demonstrate a deliberate high bounced touch down where speed is close to the stall, energy is low and the aircraft pitches up and yaws and rolls at full power. of course this would be a dual exercise and not practiced by solo students.

Early days I struggled on a go-around. Full flap, not far off the ground, trying to juggle forward elevator, applying power and considering releasing / bleeding manual flaps all at once was quite a challenge for a junior pilot who had not practiced the scenario with an instructor before.
I witnessed this one unfortunately. With a prevailing Sou'Easter and the new buildings along the south of the runway, you could easily assume turbulence may have affected the landing and subsequent go-around.

Without wanting to detract from this thread, SO good to see a recent (and as always, informative!) post from Centaurus!
