O.k. Back from Laredo. That place is hot. My sneakers started on fire three times. The 737 was like a toaster. Hot on the outside and really hot on the inside. I had to fly to Mexico to get cool. Speaking of rules this should be one of them. If a lightning storm rises above you and lightning hits around you one or more times, don't be the last man standing on the ramp trying to see where the lightning came from. You get the idea. 10 went out, 9 went back. You get the idea.
The subject I have on my mind is the Go-Around.
A hot stick comes in today and says, "I am different than anyone else." I say, "your in the right place, a different place."
He say's, "I don't believe in the go around. If I'm consistent and on speed there will never be a time when I have to go around." So, essentially (keep in mind he is a pretty hot stick, I'll give him that), what he is saying is most people fly too fast or too slow, high or low or whatever. But what do you think? I have, especially in 709 training, seen that generally speaking, we as pilots have sloppy go around technique. Now, I have been focusing my attention on this. Last year was slow speed characteristics at opposite ends of the C.G and spins the year before. The last 3 bi-annuals I had them go around after the first bounce. Two lost control in the yaw (sideways) so bad that we would have hit trees on a narrow runway. All to the left. The last one had it under control but simulated wreaked the airplane in the fake silo at the end of the non-existent farm. So, please practice a go around (aborted landing) after the tires touch. Other than that, what say?
