That's a little overboard.... Our company policy is generally to not to put the props forward on landing at all because it can make the passengers nervous... not to mention depending on the airplane you can get softer landings without full forward - or so it seems. The only reason for it is in case of a go around - which case everything goes to the fire wall.

If it's an SA thing from the examiner's perspective... I understand... but really... base, final, downwind... does it really matter for the prop as long as the aircraft is slow enough not to overspeed?


Why don't the examiners focus on more important things for ERAU CFIs.... like not flying a 9 mile pattern...
