I have done go arounds for an ugly final but this was the first time I had the actual scenario the DPE gives you on the checkride.
Ya know how they will scare you in the flare "OMG, There is a pack of wild animals on the runway!!!"
Well, I got put to the test yesterday. Soft field no less.
Saw them at the very last second. Full Throttle. Airspeed 60 and not increasing as fast as I wanted. slowly tapping the flaps to get speed w/o losing alt and closely watching the trees. 2nd time around I did another type of go around where you lust go around the geese. Landed on the taxi portion of the field.
