Go around in the flare is a real thing… I had to do one a couple of weekends ago due to a gusting crosswind. Really have to think very hard not to let the nose run away when adding power… Nice vid as always!

It is good practice for an abnormal flight attitude exercises every 90 days, for 1.5Hrs with a CFI. Make this part of your IMSAFE protocol.

I enjoyed this and will definitely incorporate some of these in my next training flight. When I usually go to the GF, I don't have a structure and it made me think that one should create a list of exercises to practice before taking off.
