Tommy Posted October 5, 2017 Report Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Can we just agree that it's the definition of T&G that causes much of disagreement. For those who support it, their T&G is open throttle as soon as wheels touch the ground. It's the closest thing to training for a Go Around and it's probably the only sensible way of getting some landing practices in a busy towered airport with long runway. For those who are against it, their idea of T&G is to re-configure the plane, let it roll, then take off with only 800 feet left in a non-towered field. Not a good idea. The money saved isn't worth the risk. From the poll that majority of us practices T&Gs and the benefit of doing them - proficiency in landing, time / money saved, etc - outweighs the risk. Done! Everyone is happy! Edited October 6, 2017 by Tommy 1 Quote
