You've NEVER had the bar slip past the next (or all the way to the

This happened to me on my Archer checkout with the club's chief pilot as
CFI. I just pulled the first notch back in while holding pitch attitude, and
wiped away the sudden sweat. Keep flying the airplane, and it'll be fine.
Were you crossing the threshold @ 40 AGL and seconds from a landing?

No, I'd just started a go-around at not a lot higher, and a bit further down
the runway.

Thursday afternoon, I landed in a varying 45 to 60 degree crosswind 15
gusting to 27. With my luck, that would be the day I drop the bar. 8^(

I do have to admit I feel a lot more comfortable with an electric flap
system.
