Re: Short Fields and Power offs
The procedure I was taught and I teach for go around, slow flight recovery, and power off stall recovery is 5 Cs. Cram, Climb, Clean, Cool, Call.
Cram - Cram the quadrant forward, Mixtures, Props, Throttles full forward
Climb - Establish climb attitude, positive rate
Clean - Clean up the configuration. First notch of flaps immediately up then establish Vx, after reaching Vx & positive rate, second notch of flaps & gear up, climb at Vx until clear of any obstacle, then establish Vy climb. After reaching Vy & positive rate, last of the flaps up.
Cool - Cowl flaps open (can be done during the clean step while waiting for Vy)
Call - announce go around
