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.
