The submission describing the dangerous practice of how the instructor
always retracted the flaps for the student on touch and goes reminds me,
in contrast, of the drill my instructor, a retired 747 captain,
put me through in a 172 every time we shot an approach
that terminated with a go around- after applying full power,
I was required to call out "Flaps 20!". As pilot in command,
I had to make the call regardless of who was going
to handle the flaps. I could ask him to do it, but the default was
always that I operated the flaps. He was great on procedures.
