By the way... try pulling that in a turbo prop and see how ugly it gets.
Planespotta, nice work.
No flamebait here... guess all the check airmen and instructors in the part 135 world weren't aware of the
infinite reasons... I'll make sure to tell them how retarded it is.
If you can't make a successful go-around because of extra motion of putting the props forward - there are bigger issues to address.
Did you take your CFI ride in a turbo-prop? I was speaking specifically of recips.

I even left the mixtures back too
!) Our Check-Airmen even encouraged it(one of the few things I actually agreed with)
It comes down to knowing your aircraft, having the skills and technique to improve not only how you land, but how you get there also!
That thing with the mixtures must be flamebait
Yes we've done that too - but I agree with you.. usually I throw the props up on very, very short final.
Yeah, the turbo-props are a bit of a different animal when it comes to that.
