If you enter the pattern at
the correct height and speed, you should have no reason to do a go
around.

I wonder out loud if teaching power pilots they have that option
creates more problems than if they were taught to land the plane the
first time around like "We" are.

Remember, a glider can touchdown to stop in 250 feet or less.
An airplane is often 1000 feet or more.

Think: What-if a glider is stopped on the runway...
I certainly want the power pilot to go around and miss me!
Or an animal, or another aircraft or a car, or...
The power pilot just botches the cross-wind, or starts
a PIO.

I still assert that (generally) glider pilots who transition to
power are better than power-only pilots. :-)
