One trick to use, if needed, when you find yourself just a little short
but
still in a safe position, is to pull the prop into high pitch, low rpm.
This will decrease your drag and extend your glide just a tad.


.... if I panic and overshoot, will I forget that the blue lever goes in
first??... and if I *do*, what is the usual consequence, say on the average
non-turbo 6-banger?

If you're prone to panic perhaps you should stick with you Ford Falcon.

You should never "forget" the blue lever. A power increase should
always be mixture, prop, throttle.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Well, okay, sure....

But the question really was: what are the consequences?

Does it typically lug and die, or will it lug and lumber upward slowly, or
do I get one of the above plus twist the crank, etc.???

Do I get away with it? None of the time? Most of the time? Once in while?

I suppose it depends. G Pressures in the cylinder will be higher than
normal, if taken to extremes you might crack a cylinder.
