You'll be so good at landings they'll probably never get around to
teaching go-arounds.

Yep, landings are not much of an issue.

One day, an airplane will taxi on to your runway while you are on short
final. You'll probably revert to glider mode and land the Cessna on the
grass parallel to the runway. Then you'll have to think up a really
good
story to explain that.

I had a talk with the chief instructor about just that the other day.
I explained to her that "go arounds" are not part of the glider
experience.
We decided to make that a priority.

Altitude must be exact. Speed is good and more speed is better.
